I'm starting to think hr is just filled with the dumbest people with no ability to think overall. Fwiw, Microsoft rejected me, annoying..., but, the recruiter actually spent like an entire 30 min call going over the feed back they gave. Somehow they can do it, but other companies can't?
- bombcar 3y agoA recruiter is a third party and has a monetary reason to work with you to get you placed elsewhere. Microsoft HR has no reason to expose themselves to anything that could possibly maybe someday involve a discrimination lawsuit. So why would they allow it?
- tayo42 3y agoWhat? Companies like Microsoft have their own recruiters.
- Eumenes 3y agoMicrosoft uses 100s of third party recruiters/agencies.
- Roark66 3y agoThe parent likely meant an internal recruiter, a role distinct from HR (probably much better paid too). It is the job of such people to make you feel OK in hope you apply again for another position with the same company. I worked for few companies that had internal recruiters.
- richiebful1 3y agoMicrosoft is so big, they might have an opening somewhere else you can fill. By providing feedback, they're building goodwill
- tayo42 3y agoYeah that's how it went, you would think most companies want people to view them positively. Except laziness and lack of critical thinking skills leads to useless policies. Here I am on, on a public forum, giving a shout out to MS. How many companies am I shit talking with my friends during their work search too? Like datadog giving me three! leetcode screen questions, then rejecting me without useful feedback. Or the various companies giving multihour take home assignments then giving generic rejections. When the market turns around (or if? it'll turn around right guys?), all those companies that just left a bad impression need workers, which ones will get considered?
