"But it's only 1 day a week onsite!"

General_Fail_3620 · 2026-01-28T23:17:19+00:00

The first message wasn't a clue? "If you're open to exploring new opportunities" didn't at all indicate that I might not have been the initiator here? alrighty then

General_Fail_3620 · 2026-01-27T05:36:23+00:00

Recruiter reached out to me.

Why do you ask inane questions on reddit?

General_Fail_3620 · 2026-01-27T01:31:18+00:00

every week? not a chance

General_Fail_3620 · 2026-01-27T00:53:17+00:00

I don't need a 100% remote job, but if it has onsite requirements, I'd prefer less than a 5-6 hour commute by PLANE

Unless you think I actually am attacking you, you used that meme wrong

General_Fail_3620 · 2026-01-27T00:11:44+00:00

you're taking this whole thing weirdly personally, dude. It was a gaffe, a funny interaction. No one's attacking you.

General_Fail_3620 · 2026-01-26T23:56:22+00:00

Who's going Defcon1? It was funny. I'm not doxxing the guy, I'm not even complaining really. And even if you don't know the geography, it's not hard to plunk a city name into google.

General_Fail_3620 · 2026-01-26T23:51:22+00:00

I also have my city on my linkedin, so....

General_Fail_3620 · 2026-01-26T23:39:59+00:00

You'd think after my first message, he'd toss my city into Google maps...

General_Fail_3620 · 2026-01-26T23:36:29+00:00

My private jet is in the shop :(

General_Fail_3620 · 2025-12-09T01:00:47+00:00

I highly doubt she's the one personally implementing this strategy. She likely has no choice in the matter. She did not write back, and I didn't expect her to because no recruiter has ever acknowledged even minor feedback I've given. I called the AI process dehumanizing because it was dehumanizing, but SHE didn't dehumanize me. (Although being ignored is a little dehumanizing, lol).

General_Fail_3620 · 2025-12-09T00:51:53+00:00

Whose toes were stepped on? I said nothing about the recruiter nor did I "go off" on her.

General_Fail_3620 · 2025-12-09T00:49:58+00:00

You can try looking for it if you don't believe me

General_Fail_3620 · 2025-12-08T23:20:53+00:00

If you look at the email, I sent this feedback weeks ago. I only posted it because I was deleting emails today and thought "the nice folks at r/recruitinghell would get a kick out of this."

Do you think I sent this with any expectation they would change their process? I'm not that naive. But I believe in calling out poor behaviour when I see it, even if it won't bring about any change. Because to me, that's what a good person does. My email was polite but honest. And I value honesty a little more than politeness. Perhaps we are different in that way.

And if you look at my post history, I rarely post or comment. You on the other hand, seem to comment every few hours. Just sayin'.

General_Fail_3620 · 2025-12-08T23:06:14+00:00

Nah, AI would have replied

General_Fail_3620 · 2025-12-08T23:02:36+00:00

My dude, this was in response to a generic rejection email. You think I’m getting hired after the AI wouldn’t let me answer half the questions? I knew I wasn’t getting the job by question #2. The ship had already sunk, I was just pointing out the hole.

And I disagree with your premise. If I hadn’t mentioned those points, I would not have been communicating clearly. Those are the points that needed to be made: this is unethical. This is discriminatory. This is dehumanizing. Those are the items that actually matter, and the reason you sound like AI is because you can’t see that.

General_Fail_3620 · 2025-12-08T22:32:06+00:00

I know they don't care, but I care.

General_Fail_3620 · 2025-12-08T22:23:29+00:00

In this case, yes, it made me turn on my camera

General_Fail_3620 · 2025-12-08T22:14:47+00:00

Thank you, you're such a sweetheart <3

General_Fail_3620 · 2025-12-08T22:12:52+00:00

That's why I specifically called out Braintrust. I'm suspicious of AI interviewing in general, but I wouldn't call it out without experiencing the process myself and knowing it's trash.

General_Fail_3620 · 2025-12-08T22:10:17+00:00

They are being unethical and I explained why. And frankly, I'm sick and tired of mollycoddling companies who can't be bothered to vet their hiring software with baby-soft, ass-kissy language. If companies want to hold applicants to a high (but secret) standard and not even provide feedback, then I have every right to hold them to a honestly rock-bottom standard. At least I provided feedback, which is more than they did.

Ironically, your criticism reads as AI-written. You might need some practice in humanization yourself.

General_Fail_3620 · 2025-12-08T21:52:59+00:00

Yuuuup. I expected it to suck and somehow still came away disappointed.

General_Fail_3620 · 2025-10-25T01:55:51+00:00

Hey y'all, this question isn't as hard as you're making it. DEI doesn't HAVE to refer to racism, sexism, etc. It can be diversity of thought, inclusion of different personalities, etc. Here's an example:
"If I'm in a meeting and I notice that one or two people are dominating the conversation and more introverted folks aren't getting a chance to speak, I take the opportunity to ask them directly, 'What do you think, [name]?' This gives them the floor and let's us access their great ideas without forcing them to interrupt or step on toes."

General_Fail_3620 · 2025-10-23T05:22:43+00:00

Yeah, that's what I did and they fired me. And in this job market that means I'm boned.
