The open to work flag bias is surprising to me. Never thought of that one. Thanks for your thoughts it's giving me some context for what I am seeing IRL.

In short, employers don't like the honesty nor modesty in job seekers. 😂😂😂

What’s wrong with her? Is she on Xanax? Wild to see such a stupid facial expression.

I got rejected a promotion at my job. I went to hr because I easily qualified for it. Hr told me they couldn't discuss my information. I asked "You can not discuss MY own information..........with me" which the lady replied yes.

I am 8+ yrs experienced Java developer with a career break. I moved to 2 different countries, had 2 kids , so many personal reasons for me.. Now I am trying to restart again in the field of Quality assurance and I am applying for junior roles which I am completely fine with. But most recruiters are not considering my profile citing no experience, career break or that I am over qualified. Or consultancies call and ask me to fill the gap with fake experience.I am definitely not doing it. I canot lie no matter how much ever time it takes me to land a job. Meanwhile, my colleague who worked only for 2 years, having a gap of 13 yrs, faked her resume and got several interview calls and now joined an MNC as a senior business analyst. Of course she is very talented, but to receive interview calls, she had to fake her resume.

Middle management pie hole full of talking heads holding scores of useless meetings. Key PoCs lack detailed understanding of the systems they are supporting, restless engineers treat production codebases as arenas of experimentation - weird ideas, languages, patterns and frameworks. Hung around for the pay but you couldn’t pay me to go back.

Please what is the source of this? Care to share?

Talent group should be replace by ai so it no longer blocking biz to get real talent...but then the same prolly goes with most roles in a business.😂

basically there's always something to reject you for.

2 years is enough for l4

Thumbnail is so cringe

DON'T BE OLD.

Basically all of these companies are pieces of crap. That’s all. And they still expect a candidate to be fully loyal to their fake ethos? Get the heck outta here! The reason why a lot of people jump from company to company is because we all know these companies are not loyal and lack integrity themselves and full of shallowness. So how do they expect their staff to have loyalty? They’re all crap. Just treat them like dating women. If they’re shallow with you, be shallow with them and move on.

thought this video would make me depressed but honestly I feel better about my applications - its clear that for the most part the candidate has very little to do with their rejection and its usually the case that meeting the job description really means nothing

In conclusion, simply applying for a job is a red flag 😂

Welcome to my world in HR. Biggest takeaway don't be that **** when you yourself become a hiring manager. Second, don't lie to yourself you are human and have the same prejudices, faults and reasoning patterns as most humans do. Third, rarely does the best talent get hired. And you are absolutely right you have to guide the company through a story, because they are going to form a story in their head about you whether you like it or not, might as well have them form the story that you want them to believe.

I like how all negative HR people are white folks on your videos. I didnt see so many white folks on YT stock clips for half a year. Welcome to banned channels, but that was nice experience

In my previous job I came across hiring manager who was fool, we had ton on work and he hired 1 engineer in 6 months. Most of engineering managers are fools/assholes

If pedigree is important, then all hope is lost unless I can travel back in time

HR people sometimes work in HR for a reason 😂

The open to work on LinkedIn......

I want a list of companies that only hire people from the TOP 20 universities, so I never waste my time applying to them, or even doing business to them when I made enough money as a worker and create my start-up.

My recommendation, do not put too much effort on building simple things in GitHub to show your work when you are at the entry level. Nobody cares about that, seriously. There are great platforms to build real stuff to learn, but the GitHub repo with simple things do not change anything in your application.

An startup company interviewed me last week. They wanted CCNP level professionals but only wanted to pay for 1/3 of the position! I wish them good luck 🍀

link to data??

May we have access to an obfuscated version of the data set ?

Silly me, thinking a video titled, "I Found A Secret Database Of Recruiter Rejection Reasons" would be a comprehensive list of those reasons rather than blurred screenshots

Fk this I'm farming

I never understand the 'Achievement' section. What to they want, succeeded in their success successfull people? Also. Politics matters. If your network full of islamic names and especially if their posts contains black-green-red colored flags, western companies do not see you at all.

i knew all this, just started disbeliefing all this after being this long in the industry.

On my oled hdr monitor, the sun makes your hand look like the hand of god!

I am originally from Argentina, but I live in the US. I've been in meetings where I was an interviewer, and after giving great feedback about a candidate (technically), I heard blatantly discriminating reasons to reject him/her.

I was driving while listening to this and the slide sound effect made me think there was something wrong with my car until I realized it was coming from the video.

I specifically avoid using LinkedIn, if I get rejected for that fine, all LinkedIn is is a giant data mining operation where the majority of job postings are ghost jobs anyways. Even Indeed is better though has similar problems. Also if the company doesn't respect your time in hiring they won't respect your time when employed so they aren't worth working for either. Most jobs are gotten through nepotism anyways so focusing on networking in real life is a better use of your time anyways.

I have worked in tech and finance. Pedigree does not mean anything. Skills do. People with elite backgrounds are also struggling to find work. The only reason why recruiters want "Pedigree" because recruiters have no idea what they are recruiting for. Hiring managers care only about skills. If you do not have the skills you do not get the job. The startups the care about pedigree and whether you were laid off, are mostly scams. Most seasoned recruiters and hiring managers know that reduction of staff or layoffs have nothing to do with performance and have everything to do with the company's profit margin.

Most startups are scams.

Take away: Anything can get you rejected.

So they want silver platter kids who are willing to be slaves? Got it lmao

The amount of time that these companies demand from applicants for interviews, assessments, tests and so much else is ridiculous. If you can get a job somewhere through networking, contacts, showing up or doing any kind of useful work, rather than this nonsense - do that.

We just want ambitious free-thinker, with high IQ, graduated from prestigious institution, who would love to work overtime for salary below market for 10+ years and will not require promotion or salary raise, whats so hard about this? People those days just doesn't want to work!

I made a mess out of my job history by getting disgruntled every 18-24 months. Even if I did some good work, the way it ended did not leave me with good referrals. And no hire-back later, of course. I have finally managed to get a well paid startup job in this economy. I am going to do everything humanly possible to make this work. And when/if it ends, I want my employers to have a stellar impression of me as a contributor. That is my job security plan going forward.

Have you considered seeing a doctor to get rid of the lisp?

Man this bring me back memories of trying to get my credit good. I tried to get a basic easy card that I could pay small amounts and know I could afford. It took me for ever! “Not enough credit.” “To new of a credit.” “No credit history.” “Doesn’t qualify due to not meeting the requirements.” Ect. This also like me getting my first job. “Not enough experience.” 🙄

These are excellent reasons to become a plumber. (Or start a business of any kind.)

Corporate culture is disgusting.

If you are job hopping it's bad - you are a quitter. If you don't job hop it's bad - you've stayed in the company for far too long. If you are "open to work" in your LinkedIn profile it's bad - nobody wants you. If you are not "open to work", it's bad - why should we hire somebody who doesn't want the job? If you attended a good school it's bad - we want somebody with real experience, not some theoretical knowledge. If you didn't attend a good school it's bad - come on, what have you learned? If you had a career break it's bad. If you didn't have a career break it's bad - some of the companies have low engineering standards. If you worked for a company which had high engineering standards it's bad - you will have a hard time adapting to a startup environment. If you are good at adapting it's bad - you probably stuck in one company for far too long and we've already discussed that it's bad. If you quit your job exactly at the right time, not too early, not too late it's bad - it means you are cynically abusing the companies. We want loyalty. If you are loyal it's bad: you are a fool and we need smart people.

If you know more than your job seeking peers based on interview questions and you can network you literally will never not be employed. Yes Ivy leagues matter but there’s also not that many Ivy League ppl who hold the info everything thinks they hold in certain parts of tech industry nepotism doesn’t do anything for you. Past Experience might not help you either the only thing that would have gotten you the job was being the best candidate with the most knowledge and skills n making it clear to hiring managers

People get rejected for not knowing interview questions there’s so many industries n companies not just the major ones that pay 350k a year making 100k isn’t bad but what is bad it not knowing the industry relative information at a competitive level and expecting to make 10s of thousands to hundreds of thousands it’s just a waste of resources to do that be honest with yourself. Could you know more ?

All the prejudice by companies and recruiters is disgusting. So many people making decisions have never seemed to have had to face adversity - real adversity. They each need to have to sit in their own shit for a while so they can employ empathy and common sense to candidates.
