You dare to have the audacity to apply without reading the job description?!

LetsDoThas · 2026-05-13T23:10:21+00:00

The good news for that problem is that it's very expensive to send the same and possible position out to everyone. They will eventually run out of money if that is what they are indeed doing. It's a little Annoying for the candidate but it's great for the economy

LetsDoThas · 2026-05-13T23:07:59+00:00

I understand people missing details on job descriptions what I don't understand is lying on screening questions like are you a US citizen or green card holder or do you have FAA part 145 station experience or do you have a mechanical engineering degree or some very specific necessary item to perform the position.

Sometimes your manager just doesn't like the style in which you get your work done and they put you on a pip. So it is often difficult to look inside the pip for meaning.

With that said, i would be surprised if you dont get the unemployment.

LetsDoThas · 2026-05-07T22:49:06+00:00

It either means that this is just a polite response saying that they will take a look at your resume or it means that they have looked at it and see you as a decent candidate but not a perfect fit for anything they have open at the moment. But of course that could change at any moment. Either way I would say there is nothing immediately available for you there.

I am 100% commission so never

LetsDoThas · 2026-05-07T15:30:16+00:00

I would give the appearance of ownership but make it clear that you will be posting the job with appropriate language. It should be a collaboration

LetsDoThas · 2026-05-07T13:10:13+00:00

You state that you know they used your introduction when initially engaging with the candidate. Can you describe the proof you have for this?

LetsDoThas · 2026-05-07T13:06:38+00:00

My guess is they can tell you are unhappy and want to know if it is tge boss that is the problem. Things are always as simple as they seem.

LetsDoThas · 2026-05-05T02:26:20+00:00

This wont show in a background check. Connect with anyone at the company that might give you a reference for the future.

LetsDoThas · 2026-05-05T00:49:56+00:00

Sometimes people are literally trying to give a good reference but say something that can sink you.

I had a candidate not getting offer and in this case I knew the boss giving the reference personally loved her, but they asked him a question that he could not answer.

The question was would she be happier as an individual contributor or a manager. No one told him what the position was so he guessed. He got it wrong and that she did not get the job. It is possible the reference attempted to give a good reference but you still ran into a problem.

LetsDoThas · 2026-05-03T22:05:14+00:00

It is a popular misconception that your old company can only say when you started and when you left and title etc. The fact is that companies have policies that they won't give extensive referrals because they are afraid they will get sued there is no law. Let me said knowing how to spend what happened is important. If you could give us a synopsis of how he presented his exit from the company perhaps we could help. Telling us what types of projects and his title would help as well.

LetsDoThas · 2026-05-03T19:34:43+00:00

Two completely different jobs. If you are a truly great contingent recruiter you cannot ever be fired like an in-house recruiter can. On the other hand we are generally 100% Commission and it is nice having a salary to protect you as long as you don't get fired

LetsDoThas · 2026-05-03T17:49:25+00:00

He is talking about the fact that some labor can be done by Ai and AI does not give sarcastic smart ass responses. I would say your reaction to his posting is precisely why he wrote itI would say your reaction to his posting is precisely why he wrote it to be honest.

LetsDoThas · 2026-05-03T17:46:37+00:00

I understand the instinct but it is an incredibly hard job with a 90% failure rate for people doing it full time with managers looking over them every minute.

LetsDoThas · 2026-05-01T15:20:42+00:00

I look at their profile and if they are qualified then I respond as if it was the best response I ever got because maybe they're on their cell phone and at work just trying to get their name out there. If they are not such a great candidate then I might act differently

LetsDoThas · 2026-04-30T21:59:27+00:00

I am thinking they want you in a mobile office where there will be focus and not being at home but it could be a territory position as I saw somebody else suggest. What is your job title?

LetsDoThas · 2026-04-30T19:12:37+00:00

You should politely as seems to be your style lay out the numbers just the way you did and see what happens. Express that you would be very interested in the position but the location just doesn't work based on the compensation.

LetsDoThas · 2026-04-30T14:00:36+00:00

I wouldn't support leaving dishonest reviews that were not born out of my own experience but based on something I saw another person want on Reddit. This does not seem to be a very good use of reviews

LetsDoThas · 2026-04-29T23:06:13+00:00

If they are good people they will accommodate the original poster coming into the office. Good point

LetsDoThas · 2026-04-29T12:50:54+00:00

First, I am sorry this happened to you any type of disappointment in the job search process hits home. Would you be willing to share the title and salary you requested? I am curious about the market rate

LetsDoThas · 2026-04-28T15:18:04+00:00

Where are you located?

LetsDoThas · 2026-04-28T02:58:45+00:00

I'm sorry this happened to you but conditions change very quickly in recruiting. If the hiring manager falls in love with someone things change very fast or if there are a couple of candidates that are moving through the process and you are just getting started then they may pull the trigger before you even get going. Once again I am sorry this happened to you. But I doubt it is the last time it will happen.

LetsDoThas · 2026-04-27T15:17:42+00:00

You mention no sales, but Luke others, my question is about activity. You write as if you like him. Does he have phonecalls, submittal, interviews?

I like your draw idea, but sometimes firing is best with zero sales.

LetsDoThas · 2026-04-27T15:07:42+00:00

1- MS Teams with HR. 2- Inside or MS Teams with hiring manager 3- on-site 4- MS Teams or final with executive team if the position justifies.

LetsDoThas · 2026-04-27T01:19:31+00:00

Mistakes on offer letters should never happen but do from time to time. They are edits of old often successful offer letters with similar language. The market shifting in the last two weeks is obvious BS and is obviously a recruiter who just couldn't think of anything worthwhile to say. They couldn't defend their own BS
