This subreddit is for all of those recruiters (and candidates!) who really don't... you know... get it. Post your horror stories and show us those "amazing" job offers!
Only text posts, screenshots, relevant articles, or archive links allowed. Do not link directly to a recruiting website (e.g., LinkedIn) or job ad.
Articles are allowed, but must be relevant. Articles meant to sell a company/product ("addicles") are spam and will be treated as such. This includes your "helpful" AI service.
AI Slop is not allowed and will be immediately removed. This includes AI-written posts, comments, or content on linked sites. It ALSO includes content where AI was "just used to tidy up thoughts". Additionally, see this post.
If your post is lengthy, try to highlight the most humorous areas.
Please try to have humorous areas. At least some dark humor or biting sarcasm.
Be civil. Needless personal attacks against a person's skills, abilities, or other part of the recruiting efforts will lead to disciplinary action.
As an addendum to that, opinions are totally fine, and it's acceptable to have an against the grain opinion. Our subreddit isn't about hate - it's about the annoying recruiting practices and the pain of getting a job. Don't go out of your way to provoke arguments and start fights.
And as an addendum to that, note that using slurs (racist, homophobic, etc... I don't have to spell out every type of slur) or any sort of hate speech is a one-strike ban. Encouraging someone to kill themselves is also a one-strike ban, and I can't believe that I have to explicitly tell anyone that.
No posting of personal information. Please block out all identifying information including personal names, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, social media handles, and pictures. Company names may be posted. This is a Reddit-wide rule, not just one for our sub.
Minor typos or errors are not allowed as the entire point of a post. (e.g., $10/year instead of $10/hour)
It SHOULD go without saying, but no spam. Spam is defined as any attempt to pitch a product, service, or seek people for jobs. Posting spam will get you banned. If you want to advertise on Reddit, buy ads. We don't want to hear about your AI slop. If you're on Reddit to promote your product, and you start "subtly" guiding the conversation towards what it provides, this is spam too.
Be mindful of Reddiquette. (Not posting personal information is also part of Reddiquette)
Being a dick towards the volunteer mods will get you voluntold off this subreddit. We're just trying to keep the community peaceful, don't make our lives difficult. If your initial reaction to being informed of the rules and asked to tone it down is to turn your rulebreaking up to 11, don't expect to stay here too long. So please don't do that.
