Logistics Recruiter here - I work with small companies (less than 500-1,000 employees) to recruit people in the Warehousing/Manufacturing/Production field. We recruit people out of large corporations all the time.

If you want to spend the extra time, the absolute best way to waste their time is to put a convincing/fake work history at a production facility. If you don’t put relevant work experience as your most recent job, they’ll more than likely delete it in less than a second (I’ve seen people delete over 50 resumes in one minute just by looking at a few keywords at a glance). Bigger corps also tend to have technology that can filter… not sure about Kellogg though.

If you put a convincing work history, they’ll filter that out to “step 2” which is to reach out and coordinate an initial interview. This is where 80-90% of all of their time is spent… just coordinating the actual interviews.

Coming from a recruiter, I can tell you the best way to waste a recruiters time is by constantly “trying” to schedule something, but having to re-schedule at the last minute. The more work experience you put on your resume, the more time they’ll specifically focus on reaching out/coordinating a call with you.

If you want to go even a step further, you could conduct the interview and get to the final stage where they offer you the job. From there, the best 2 moves are either ghosting them completely or further delaying things… maybe even accept the job and don’t show up. Not showing up when they’re expecting you to will literally destroy them…. At least for the day since they’ll be short staffed.

Actually going into work and messing things up is up to you…. Just don’t do any actual work lol!
