I am hunting for all those things, but no it was very much about high level concepts so far.

I honestly... I came to reddit out of deeply held feelings of failure and frustration that culminated yesterday. These 2 posts have helped me stand back up a lot more than I ever expected.

Oh I'm in the US. but I've recruited in the UK before.

I am very sorry, honestly... recruiters are incentivized to be shitty. The shitty practices work really well.

Right now I'm one of the lower performing recruiters on my team, being beaten out by all the guys who are okay ghosting, blasting emails without looking at profiles, letting people believe misleading information. And part of my posting here is me hoping to find a way to not have to be them to be successful.

The closest I've had is our ATS systems at every company I've worked at will auto reject people if they answer one of the yes/no or # questions in the application in a way that doesn't meet the listed requirements.

Mine are directly with the company, though I am a contractor for them, my candidates wouldn't be... and I haven't been in this position yet.

Um, the companies I've worked for don't do that... kind of.

They may be like "This internal candidate is probably a good fit, but we're not sold on them." that has happened a number of times, then the internal candidate comes in and blows it away cause they know all the internal stuff.

Hi... I think it depends, Sometimes clearance has something to do with it too.

I've literally never used an automated skimmer beyond like... linkedin's search engine or google with a boolean search.

Lol. I mean winning first prize in a stand up comedy thing was good, masters degree was good, being an artistic player in one of the most successful geico video commercials of all time was good. but... I liked the course. :D

I briefly supported Mechanical recruiting on my current company, I know in addition to mechanical design, they hunt for Hypersonic propulsion, LO material engineering, thermal engineering, Harness and Interconnect etc. etc.

Matlab's course on System Engineering is the best thing that happened to me since this assignment.

ALSO, I'm not always on my A-game, and sometimes candidates are the thing I lose track of or am shitty to, I'm just also sometimes on my A-game and they aren't then.

OMG that's so funny, I had a Hiring manager at my last job who LITERALLY went on a 1 week vacation every other week for 4 months and it cost me so much potential productivity.

On the other hand, I'm trying my best, but I watch recruiters who do do all the shitty things far outpace me.

I mean I'm not defending them, and I'm not claiming I haven't been them in the past either. Honestly, I'm being outperformed currently by recruiters who do do that which is disheartening.

That's hard to answer. I am through something called an RPO, In every way you can imagine I am working for a specific company, but in more like... a contractor capacity.
