Are you familiar with the concept of a recruitment funnel? It is not financially worth it to personally talk with every single person that applies to a company.

Are you familiar with the concept of a recruitment funnel? It is not financially worth it to personally talk with every single person that applies to a company.
- gmerc 2mo agoWell then it’s not financially worth it for capable people to work for that company. And of story
- charcircuit 2mo agoNot all capable people are willing to reject a company because they upload their resume to an automated system than giving it to a human to talk with.
- inigyou 2mo agoIt's every company. If you reject companies for this, you are living under a bridge right now.
- disgruntledphd2 2mo ago> It's every company. If you reject companies for this, you are living under a bridge right now. I just finished a successful job search, and only had 1 company (of maybe 50 applications) try this.
- gmerc 2mo agoAmericans are uniquely (c|f)ucked that way because, lol regulation would be worse
- psd1 2mo agoI think it's happening everywhere, even in places with strong worker protection laws. Applicants aren't workers, and regulation is anyway laggy.
- inigyou 2mo agoWell then it's not financially worth it to have a job, because every company does this because if they didn't they'd need to triple in size with recruiters. Something must be wrong with this logic because it clearly is financially worth it to have a job.
- Pooge 2mo ago> it clearly is financially worth it to have a job Yes, for the company.
- disgruntledphd2 2mo ago> Well then it's not financially worth it to have a job, because every company does this because if they didn't they'd need to triple in size with recruiters. Every company does not do this. I always refuse tasks like this unless I've talked to a human before hand, as unless the company has invested a little effort, then I won't invest any effort.
- tdeck 2mo agoThat's what a resume is for.
- red-iron-pine 2mo agothats what the ATS is for
- shahbaby 2mo agoAfter you've filtered down the resumes, if it's not financially worth it to put a human on the phone for the initial screen, that means you don't value the people you hire. And if the cost to do that initial screen is almost zero, it also means that you may not even have a job opening and are just testing the waters. No matter how you slice it, it's a bad look.
