Are we talking about in-house recruiters or HR? Often in big companies, they are not the same people.

kinda weird that the recruiters don't know anything about the ad they themselves probably posted. maybe the guy who was in charge of that position got sacked or something lol.

12 applications and only two callbacks to show for it. Guess it's time to play the numbers game instead of the "would be cool to work for" game. Anyone have good resources for the dumb trivia hour stuff hr loves to use for screens?

Guess it's time to play the numbers game instead of the "would be cool to work for" game. any callback is a positive, but you might be getting overlooked because your resume doesn't stand out much. perhaps take a critical look at it and figure out why that is, like it's entirely possible that your resume is just plain boring and you've worded your key points in a very blunt roundabout way. get a friend to read it who'll be able to give you a completely unbiased opinion. also hr screens aren't tech screens, they are just filters for idiots who cannot converse with other human beings in a normal non-abrasive manner. and any tech screen is going to depend heavily on the hard requirements of the job description, which you should know very well if you're applying for that job anyway. if you're looking for general programming interview challenges, you want leetcode.com.

99% or recruiters have no clue what they’re hiring for and just do a database search for keywords. so put all the right keywords in.

It's me, the recruiter calling during work hours, asking about how your new job you've been at for less than 3 months is going (I did not get this job through a recruiter, also new job owns), and wanting to talk about "local opportunities".

Further lol: old boss just texted me specific questions about a system I worked on at old job that I can't possibly answer. I kind of feel bad for him because it's not his fault that the structure of the company made it so everything I wrote exists at a maximum bus factor.

When I got hired at a game streaming startup they needed someone who was an expert on Ubuntu and on Wine. I was found by an external recruiter who researched that I was Ubuntu's Wine maintainer. The first point of contact was direct message via Freenode IRC after asking me in the #winehq channel. I've shared this story with quite a few people, and the consensus seems to be that this was the best external recruiter story you will ever hear in your lifetime.

my work today was deep in the realm of interview question territory (memcpy with special alignment restrictions) and I spent way too long trying to do it. if it was an interview situation I might have died from shame.

Conducted a phone interview today because the other person was "out of town". We asked them questions and could hear them typing in the background. They even did the whole "uhh I know this, uhh...<20 seconds> oh yes that's the answer" routine. So we turned up the difficulty and circled back to the original questions and they couldn't answer them after just doing so 5 minutes earlier. Lol.

I had one company request me to do a online coding exercise, answer 5 general pre-recorded video interview questions and then tell me they felt I did not suit the position.. twice for different departments/positions. I also got a chance to have an in-person interview to a job (in a third deparment I assume) I felt was tailored pretty much to my experience and aspirations, but the feedback was once again - you guessed it - that they felt I did not suit the position. My takeaway from this was that the company does not have a unified HR strategy, departments don't even refer candidates to each other, which in turn probably means that every other process in the company is managed similarly - individual fiefdoms without a real grand strategy and the decisionmakers are best described as rear end-coverers with pavlovian drool reflexes to buzzwords but no in-depth understanding. Another bullet dodged.

MononcQc posted:interviewed a dude who was technically very proficient and we intentionally threw some easier vague beginner technical questions like "explain to me how x works" or "can you tell me the difference between x and y?", and the guy seemed visibly flustered as if that stuff was beneath him and later ended up leaving very quickly without waiting for info on when he'd be called back. dude got mad and e-mailed HR with a terribly written quebecois insult e-mail before HR had even reached out to him. Here's my rough translation of it, with fewer typos than the original, but I kept some for the feeling of it: quote:hey there u lil loving nerd of loving pseudo success so uh, our hard pass is validated E: example for the liberal translation: the original text contained 'criss vs un objet da ltra de q' is what I guess is "crissez-vous un objet dans le trou d'cul". I don't know if the dude tried to bypass email filters but the literal equivalent would "gently caress u an object in ya rear end hal" MononcQc fucked around with this message at 16:55 on Feb 7, 2018 |
