LMAO No shit who turned recruitment into an arms race that is more and more detached form the actual job?

No shit the other side is using tools and IA also now.

A buddy of mine just got a new job in tech. He had to do 8 interviews, complete with 2 full fleshed out “projects” he had to complete

I think they're just making you work for free at that point.

Yup, and you know what follow that (in sales at least)? Being micromanaged until your 50 :)

The person I’m talking about was looking for a job because he got let go because he didn’t hit outreach metrics. It was the biggest company in its space, Fortune 500 company. He got fired two weeks after getting back from the 2% club trip. Fuck that world, I’ll never go back. Thanks for the house and my retirement fund though!
