- mnx 10y agoI don't like that word either, but it seems to be the standard term.
- mikeash 10y ago"Hired" would work just as well here.
- bpicolo 10y agoUber recruiters once emails about 100 engineers in my company the same email...except they managed to swap around the first/last names on all of them.
- rspeer 10y agoMost recruiters are comically bad at targeting -- apparently there isn't enough downside to just carpet-bombing as many e-mail addresses as they can find -- but this does not mean that recruiting is inherently wrong.
- bpicolo 10y agoThe funny bit was the swapped names, it's like they had a spreadsheet but shifted a column down. Didn't double check the names against emails so I assume it was automated.
