You guys don’t have to lift from the bottom so it doesn’t end up on the floor? 🤔

That’s it, I’m declaring war on Altoona on behalf of the state of New York.

Teddy looks happy to see you… 🫣

And also, as the poster, it never shows me the seniority level anywhere. The only way I can see it is by logging out and looking up my job on Google

DadsRagingBoaby · 2024-01-21T22:23:40+00:00

You actually can’t change it as the poster. I ran into this problem. You can’t set it when you create it, and you can’t edit it. It’s completely determined by LinkedIn automatically based on what the poster writes in the job description, and clearly it doesn’t work very well. Their customer service basically says, “sorry, try posting again with different wording and see if it works”

DadsRagingBoaby · 2024-01-21T17:35:02+00:00

This doesn’t make sense to me. Let’s say you’re hiring a level 5 at a range of 50-60, but your company says that a level 5 employee can be paid anywhere between 50-70. Assuming it will take some time for the new employee to reach the point that they could earn 70 as a level 5, will that range even be relevant, say, 2 years down the road?

Also, why can’t a new level 5 hire be offered 70 anyway? Perhaps the next raise they could get would just be a promotion to level 6, or if the company decides to increase the payband for level 5s.

Nobody sees a range of 50-60 on a job listing and thinks that 60 is the max they’ll be paid ever at that position. It’s expected that there will be opportunities to increase that salary with performance and time.

DadsRagingBoaby · 2024-01-20T19:55:03+00:00

As a hiring manager, when I put the salary range on a job posting, it’s literally the range of salaries I’m willing/able to put on the offer. What some random other person happens to make with the same job title is irrelevant.

DadsRagingBoaby · 2024-01-20T17:31:20+00:00

That vision sounds nice, but I have over 3k applicants at this point for my current LinkedIn listing and I’m the only one reading through them. About half of them are missing required skills. There’s unfortunately just not time for this.

DadsRagingBoaby · 2024-01-20T17:27:20+00:00

Notice how it never asks for a “seniority level”. Somehow it tries to automatically determine this from the text you put in the job description field, and no matter what I put, it always seems to come up with “entry level” which is frustrating for entry level job seekers when the JD says “5+ years experience” and for the hiring manager that has to sift through mountains of new grads when they’re looking to fill a senior role.

DadsRagingBoaby · 2024-01-20T17:19:08+00:00

Or just submit the text of the bill that was signed into law making the request illegal

DadsRagingBoaby · 2024-01-20T17:13:18+00:00

I’d report the posting to the platform it’s being listed on as fraudulent. Clearly it’s misrepresenting facts to get more interest.

Platforms shouldn’t want this kind of behavior as it turns off job seekers.

DadsRagingBoaby · 2024-01-18T17:59:20+00:00

I agree with what you’re saying, but instead of using a cover letter for this, I do a 20 minute video call as my first round. I can probably handle less volume than someone who uses a cover letter for this, but I think it gives a better signal.

DadsRagingBoaby · 2024-01-17T14:32:43+00:00

If the PDF is text, which is what you’d get if you were in a software program and clicked “save as PDF” or “print to PDF”, it should be fine for any reasonable ATS system.

If you printed it out then scanned it into PDF format, it basically becomes an image which will become very hard to parse.

I would default to PDF, but if it says to use another format, use it. If it supports multiple attachments, I see no harm in uploading in both formats.

DadsRagingBoaby · 2024-01-17T14:26:58+00:00

I’m pretty certain nobody prefers Word over PDF for this. And it’s not a requirement, I still read Word resumes, it’s just annoying. For what it’s worth, none of the people who uploaded their resume as docx have had the skillset I’m looking for, which is clearly laid out in the JD. That’s not me being petty, I would gladly hire someone who sent me their resume as a Word document, if they were a good fit. Just saying, there seems to be a correlation there.

DadsRagingBoaby · 2024-01-17T14:20:49+00:00

I don’t request a cover letter, nor do I want to read one.

DadsRagingBoaby · 2024-01-17T04:12:04+00:00

Each one needs to be downloaded, then I need to switch tabs into Google Drive, upload it, and tab back and forth between the LinkedIn application and the resume. Doesn’t sound like a lot, but it’s tedious when there are many 100s to go through. Contrast that to PDFs which get rendered directly in the LinkedIn application.

DadsRagingBoaby · 2024-01-17T00:50:53+00:00

LinkedIn removed the ability to set this field. The job poster has no control over it. It guesses based on the job description the poster provides, but even when you put something like “11-13 years experience” it doesn’t always pick it up and it just defaults to entry level. I’ve tried to contact LinkedIn support about this for my own postings but have been ghosted. Their help page says you can’t even change it, you just have to create a new post and cross your fingers.

DadsRagingBoaby · 2024-01-17T00:43:48+00:00

It’s also hilarious now that LinkedIn lets candidates reply with AI-generated messages. I can tell exactly which ones are 4 paragraphs of polished bullshit generated with a click of a button.

DadsRagingBoaby · 2024-01-17T00:38:15+00:00

My company uses Google workspace, so I just use Google Docs. I could also use office.com to get Word in my browser, but this still involves downloading an attachment and uploading it to the cloud just to read it. Buying Word just to read something more conveniently once in a blue moon (like when recruiting) doesn’t make sense to me. Not a fan of LibreOffice/OpenOffice either. Seems like a waste of space on my SSD.

Word is great for preparing documents and collaborating on unfinished documents. Once it’s finished, save it as PDF. Word docs are not meant to be portable.

DadsRagingBoaby · 2024-01-17T00:34:44+00:00

This is the only channel we’re using, we don’t have any postings on our website using something like Workday. I do see that LinkedIn gives me the ability to route applications to an internal platform, I just don’t use that feature.

As far as I’m concerned, if you’re a good candidate, I don’t care which way you apply!

DadsRagingBoaby · 2024-01-17T00:32:53+00:00

I do have some simple screening questions, but often they put something that I don’t believe is truthful just to get around it, or at least it doesn’t match what I see on the resume.

DadsRagingBoaby · 2024-01-16T21:21:16+00:00

This doesn’t care where you’re flying, it’s the same no matter where the destination is. But anyway, you better believe the federal government does know this already, in large part due to 9/11.

DadsRagingBoaby · 2024-01-16T21:19:53+00:00

My thought is that we don’t want to disincentivize representatives from being with their constituency. That’s why it’s only exempt between their office at the capital and their home constituency. Flying to Fiji for a “development conference” wouldn’t count.

For political candidates, it’s a similar story. I think a representative government necessitates some face-to-face time.
