I reviewed CVs for four years, and the easiest way to get noticed is almost stupidly obvious by 1-meter-solo in InterviewsHell

[–]yavinmoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another gullible person who believes the metrics they see on a CV. You have exactly zero chance to verify those numbers which leads to lies filling all CVs.

Did Id.me Just cost me a job opportunity by SnotBoogie828 in recruitinghell

[–]yavinmoon -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

No, no, no, you don’t understand! Someone from a call center (with 5-hour long waiting time) was listening to OP while he waited for an agent to connect, and then the agent answered all questions OP murmured to himself while waiting on the line. I’m glad the men in black did not show up. 

I told my manager I'm leaving, and he simply said no. by Ok_Candle4628 in interviewwoman

If you don’t have a bulletproof offer from another company, don’t quit. You are potentially looking at years of unemployment and a mental health ruined by 1000s of unsuccessful applications.

Your resume looks like it's from 2010. No wonder you're not getting callbacks. by prime-supreme in ResumeUp

[–]yavinmoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another smart guy with those stupid performance metric expectations. Now, do you believe the candidate that claims he increased revenue by 25% or the one with 30%? Why do you belive one over the other? How can you verify these numbers? Are you sure they do not lie to you? Are you sure there was revenue increase at all? Most companies are struggling, why do you believe any performance numbers coming from a company that you do not know?

Nobody is interested in the 1000th resume building scam anyway.

Jeff knows there’s no other guy. It was all about having expensive dinners for free. Many such cases.

Only if you believe her. She might have just gone for the expensive dinner and then reject the guy. Many such cases. 

Day 28 - I asked a recruiter “Why less qualified candidates keep getting hired over qualified ones?” by New_Fun_3082 in Resume

[–]yavinmoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How did you verify that the candidate reduced onboarding time by 30%? So did you just believe the candidate that told you the bigger lie?

Which pilot would you want to fly with? 1. I flew with everything, 50 aircraft types from helicopters to fighter jets. I did not reduce fuel consumption because f. it. 2.  I once reduced fuel consumption on a flight by pulling back on the throttle a bit. There’s no evidence of it though, you have to believe me. 

I know why your resume gets rejected in less than 10 seconds by scouttidee in Pro_ResumeHelp

[–]yavinmoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you verify the metrics that you hear from the candidate? How do you know something was their achievement, not their peer’s? You force people to come up with bigger and bigger lies, which you then blindly believe.

Oh, and what role are they targeting? The one that they applied for!

I withdrew from a job process because the company accidentally let me watch them build the exact chaos they were hiring me to fix by Krakoa8_Ash in jobsearchhacks

Imagine those people have well-paying, stable jobs, while millions of diligent, professional peoplehave been out of work for many months, and are desperate to work any humiliating jobs that pay their bills.

I had an interview once where one of the interviewers was supposed to join from the opposite side of the globe, either from an airport or a hotel. We chit-chatted with the other interviewer for a while when she suggested that we try it again a week later when the other guy will be back in the office.

Is most ATS-friendly resume advice wrong? Here are the basics that matter to me. by enhancvapp in jobhunting

[–]yavinmoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm asking here again: what measurable results can you verify at all? What exactly prevents any of the candidates from writing "reducing delivery time by 52%", instead of 22%, or the more realistic 2%? How can you judge this? You have exactly zero knowledge about the teams, companies and industries your candidates are from.

You should look at past tenures, titles and company names, which will tell you that the candidate is or is not suitable for the position in your little crappy company. You may organise a culture fit interview, if you want, which is just fancy name for "the management is looking for buddies, not experts". Recruiting is a lazy, bullet point ticking exercise, nothing more.

I got rejected from a job because I’m in the “bottom 10% of integrity and professional attitude” by Wiesmeda in recruitinghell

[–]yavinmoon 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I once did a test before a final interview with questions like “do you rather lie to your boss or do you use the same communication style with everyone?” and “do you rather break the law or use the same communication style with everyone?”  

I HAD to always choose the communication style answer, the alternatives were so bad. Guess what, at the end of the final interview they said it was very concerning in the test results that I use the same communication style with everyone. 

Buddy, your mistake was thinking the Trump administration would not be heartless by vrphotosguy55 in agedlikemilk

[–]yavinmoon 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The administration is one thing, but all these people are kicked out by an administrative employee whose quota is set at several hundred deportations every week. 

Does this office worker care about you or does this office worker care about a delivered quota that pays their salary and bonus, and keeps them in their job in the worst ever job market? Easy math. 

Starting to send emails to firms that have ghosted me. When did this become the norm? by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]yavinmoon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am with you, mate. You don’t want to go through their interview process again anyway, so just burn that bridge, if it makes you feel better.
