Telling people to apply online and hiring people who show up anyway is an asshole filter (https://siderea.dreamwidth.org/1209794.html https://siderea.dreamwidth.org/1209794.html ). You're preferentially giving benefits to people who are willing to break the rules rather than to obey them, so you are selecting for assholes.
- Rayhem 4y agoThis feels like an over-the-top microoptimization with very little data behind it. By the same reasoning, you're also preferentially giving benefits to people who are willing to be seen face-to-face which could counter a slight asshole bias (if it exists).
- rat9988 4y agoYou got it wrong if you thought there was a rule to begin with. Everything is a negociation. A job is not a reward you deserve.
- BonoboIO 4y agoI thought that myself doing business: play by „the rules“, pricing is fixed, „this does not work with this configuration and that hardware“ on a phone call - I would take this as final, and so on. As I‘m now in my thirties I realized, there are no rules (well or very few). 90% of success is just showing up. „Well, you are here, let’s just have a quick talk“. It‘s not guaranteed that you get a job, a contract or something, but if your Risk is Zero, you can only win.
