10 reasons your company's HR can't fill jobs

In the April 16, 2019 Ask The Headhunter Newsletter a job seeker exposes rude HR recruiting practices and 319,000 people take notice. Question Hundreds of LinkedIn users have commented on a clever cover letter someone sent to a company about a job. The reply he got was an unsigned e-mail blast the company sends to all rejects, suggesting his application wasn’t even read. But he got the last laugh. His cover letter was a series of “Arfs.” He posted it and their canned reply. How embarrassing for the employer to be exposed like that! This is yet another example of

Eh I would put in ones that I think are much bigger issues.

The process is to slow, if a highly skilled person is looking for a job they probably won't be after a 3 month interview process.

A few places I have worked won't let managers talk to someone till they have been vetted by HR, and they are super slow (3+ months)

HR doesn't know what they are hiring:  The requirements say they need a CCNA, but this guy only has a CCNP on his resume, so they are rejected.

Poor job descriptions:  they write a 3 page long job description of buzz words and don't actually tell you what you'll be doing, or they throw in every skill they might possibly want and either people don't apply or HR doesn't let them though the process.

As you move up the chain, more and more the hires are always based on connections. Who even relies on rando HR bot spam anymore lol.


I had a rando linkedin recruiter hit me up for a 2nd line NOC job. Not to demean 2nd line NOC jockeys, but that's sort of um 10 years ago in my career, if you paid a millisecond to even my linkedin. I looked up the recruiter's linkedin and she was a pastry chef 12 months ago. WTF is it with recruiting and just total randos throwing their hat in the ring.

I guess anyone  can get a job in recruiting. The recruiting companies must be doing something right  :smug:
