HR at a previous employer would write the job descriptions in partnership with the hiring manager. Unfortunately, the descriptions had to apply to everyone in the position because they were also used for compensation research.
It took one manager months to get “Windows NT” removed from the description for a network position.
- bombcar 5y agoBut why would you remove "Windows Network Technology" from a network position? Hehehehehe.
- dkarl 5y agoIt's a joke and you're getting downvoted, but that is exactly the kind of reasoning the HR team I was describing would use. Lots of "common sense" like that, but they would use their own "knowledge" to do things like replace "OOP" with "Java." Harmless stuff if they had been working collaboratively (preferably in real time) with hiring managers who could double-check their work, but they were unwilling to do that. They wouldn't even let hiring managers view a req before they published it. And if you suggested that they not change technical terminology and not promote nice to haves to must haves, they acted like you were attacking their professional ability and their right to earn a living.
