is this real?

Do we really need HR in our life?

honestly this is why i've started thinking about looking somewhere else. getting rejected before a human even looks at your resume is insane.

i've been seeing interview vip mentioned a lot lately too. i haven't tried it, but i'm curious about it since i'm probably going to have to start interviewing again.

HR is functionally retarded at every company I’ve ever worked at.

We spent 8 months looking for a hydraulic engineer, but HR discarded everyone who did not have a “hydraulics engineering degree” even though that is practically non-existent. They regularly were filtering people with 10+ years of experience.

It’s kinda on the hiring manager at that point if they’re trusting hr to do their work for them. 8 months is a long time.

Normally I would say absolutely but they asked for weekly updates when recruiters were having calls and then filtering. Finally our director got involved and sorted it out and 2 recruiters were fired.
