Series of unfortunate events with the devil HR hence, job seekers beware.
This is an addition to my “Devil HR†series that can be found here. For those of you who haven’t read the first release of the series, you can use the navigation menu to search for it.
This is actually a compilation of unfortunate events experienced by most job seekers that I’ve come to interview with. These notes could be a good tool for HR Heads on whether or not you’re your front lines are doing their job as desired by the company. So brace yourself for this maybe your company that they are referring to. And by the way, let me tell you also that I’ve included some of my bad experiences with your recruiters. And how was able to get access with your worst practices? I’m a job seeker in disguise.
Wasting my time. I wonder if most of our HR heads here has already trained their recruiters to value a job seekers time, or is it just the attitude of a recruiter. But I wonder why they were hired for a fact that they possess such an unbearable attitude.
He was advised to be there at 1:00 pm but the preliminary exam starts and 2:30pm. If it was me, you won’t be seeing me. Then follows the interview but you were asked to wait (no specific time) for the recruiter. After almost an hour she came, but she went out because her colleague called her and they were talking for a couple of minutes.
As the interview commences right after horrible hours of waiting, the recruiter then brags that it’s not that often the company hires a new employee (as if it’s big deal to me or was she thinking that I’ll be impressed?). After her boastful claims and rhetoric’s on how good was their process and her personality I’m at a lost. Now my turn to throw her the most basic questions, satisfied with a 2 – 3 months process of filling up a vacancy? Okay with being late without even apologizing to everyone around? You owe them an explanation because they waited for you. So war of lexis follows. To make the story short, this applicant was really pissed off.
She’s a waste of my time. Time has been so valuable for job seekers or to professionals. As much as possible let’s not abuse it. Sometimes our recruiters tend to be confident that these job seekers will wait for them because they need a job to the extent that they fail to recognize some of the ethical ways on how to deal with these job seekers. Worst, they may know that it’s the company who needs these jobseekers, but they don’t take it by heart and mind that it’s actually us who needs them the most rather than the other way around. They are our greatest assets.
