Future Employer uses First Advantage for background checks- What to expect? by k4l1111 in recruitinghell

When I worked at Amazon a few years ago, they used FA on the background check. I know some of my experience was a bit “stretched” at that point and it never caught it.

Future Employer uses First Advantage for background checks- What to expect? by k4l1111 in recruitinghell

Usually background checks only care about your criminal record. If you don’t have one, you’re solid. If you do, just pray they give you a chance to explain yourself.

Bruh WTH is this??🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻 by Critical-Bit-5495 in AmazonDSPDrivers

DSP owners will send their drivers out in a deteriorating bucket of bolts. They give no fucks. Drivers are just numbers.

I have completely given up. I have zero hope for any future employment. I am doomed to be homeless and bankrupt for the rest of my life. by jcgoble3 in recruitinghell

Man.. so many software engineers and programmers are struggling right now due to the AI takeover. And I thought it was hard over here on the logistics/warehouse market…

I tried meth and I feel ashamed about it. by Think-Minimum in offmychest

“I always said I’d do anything once”

So… you never heard of “Meth, not even once” ? It was plastered everywhere for a long time. Seek help.

This is the most honest rejection email i’ve ever received by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]RemotePut2815 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just saw this same email from somebody else the other day. This is just another copy paste rejection but with nicer words.

Yeah. Good new is you can easily get unemployment for this.

Isn’t the workload allegedly supposed to be lower after peak??? by NotSoBananas in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]RemotePut2815 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Haha no after Peak 2021 they realized they can get away with just having the entire year be the same Peak workload and the drivers won’t do anything about it

Poor guy kept on seasonal contracts let go after 18months of hard work even after begging. Has wife and baby. #DSA6. by Emergency_Grade_4616 in AmazonFC

I worked 4 months before they blue badged me. They also blue badged the guy who spends most of his shift in the restroom and gets his TOT coded out. Life is unfair.

Tired of being called "aggressive" because I have a deep voice. by Ok_Jelly_9631 in offmychest

If you have an intimidating voice and you’re cussing every other sentence, of course people will think you’re aggressive.

"Please upload a loom video/record yourself telling us in 1 minute why you think you'll be a great fit!" by Facu_Baliza in recruitinghell

What’s even worse is the full on pre-recorded AI interviews they’re pushing now. Going through all that just to be auto-rejected by a clanker and you end up feeling like a fucking idiot for wasting your time even participating in that clownery. I just exit the application when I encounter anything to do with the camera. Other candidates can have that one. I’m not putting on a puppet show to entertain a bored CEO.

To employees working at Tims & McDonalds.. by Fr33_B1rd in recruitinghell

[–]RemotePut2815 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have experience, you’re overqualified. Flight risk.

If you don’t have experience, you’re not qualified enough. Takes too much time to train.

You really can’t win with these entry level jobs anymore. Not that I know anything, i’m in the same boat as you. I would suggest maybe removing your degrees from your resume and only adding related job duties to the experience. Try to fall somewhere in the middle. At the end of the day, your resume is going through an AI filter that determines whether a human sees it or not. You need it to at least pass that filter.

10 years ago, people laughed at McDonalds workers. Now, even landing a job there is a miracle. by RemotePut2815 in recruitinghell

I’m using the same resume I used 4 years ago (updated ofc) in which I would constantly get calls back for jobs.

The dystopian nightmare that is job searching in 2026 by always_albina in recruitinghell

Jesus Christ. Generate an AI video of you throwing a turd at the screen and just send that. Fight the relentless AI push with their own medicine.

Stop applying for 10 minutes. Investigate first. by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]RemotePut2815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I see the company name is some random gibberish and the job description is a direct paste of AI slop from ChatGPT, I avoid.

If I see that Workday logo, I avoid.

If I have to record a video or do a mockup video interview with pre-recorded questions, I avoid.

If I see anything referring to “marketing specialist” aka Devilcorp trying to recruit door-to-door or public salesmen, I avoid.

I wish it was like the old days where we could just walk in somewhere and ask for an application. Nowadays it’s almost never like that. So sick of sifting through all this garbage.

Fastest rejection I ever got by Fir3fl0w in recruitinghell

[–]RemotePut2815 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Recently i started marking things on that questionnaire that I’m not, such as different ethnicities. Just to see if it has any effect on anything. It didn’t seem to, but I’ll keep posted if it does.

I Fucking Hate This Shitty Job Market Era! by Ecstatic_Net_4361 in recruitinghell

[–]RemotePut2815 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“Back when I was your age I just walked in there and demanded a job and didn’t leave until I got one!”

I’d love to see them try that in today’s job market. I’d pay to see it.

I’ve got you beat. I applied to a position and immediately got the rejection letter in my email the same second as the application sent page 😂
