No - the recruiter is not doing their job. They are marking time in a role and collecting a paycheck, but decidedly not doing their job.

- kichik 9y agoAnd yet that's the hand you've been dealt. You can be right, or you can get the job.
- JackFr 9y agoI'm not disagreeing with your main point -- no one gets into the club by arguing with the bouncer. My point is that the recruiter is a collossal screw-up, and its imprecise to describe what they did as 'doing their job'. Unless their job is to alienate qualified applicants.
- kichik 9y agoThere's no argument there. I would actually like to learn more about Facebook's recruiter situation to understand how this can happen. That's definitely something you want to avoid in your own company.

- almostApatriot1 9y agoI disagree. There are probably 100 Stanley's in line for these positions and the recruiter is helping to weed out the smug ones. Part of his job.
- akhilcacharya 9y agoFacebook hires (or at minimum, interviews) hundreds of PE's a year, there's no way this sort of miscommunication isn't sorted out in the average case. I might be wrong, but as far as I know PE's are recruited to have SysAdmin expertise as well. It's clear that the resume didn't reflect that as well as it should if this was even being asked.
- sevagh 9y agoYou're right about the full-time PE role but this is an intern role - how much production fire-extinguishing/sysadmin experience could they expect a student to have?
- akhilcacharya 9y agoIt's definitely plausible! I met a guy who had gotten a PE intern offer from FB. He said he had an systems internship at a trading company where he did automation and and infrastructure. I wouldn't know for certain but I'd think they'd be looking for experience with scripting languages and deployment systems as well.
