People who are hiring the best are hunters...

In my experience people who are hiring are often greatly confused about all things related to hiring. Hunters is not the word I would use.

They also seem to be clueless about the roles they’re hiring for. I’ve been contacted by many recruiters who can’t even answer the simple question what role they’re trying to fill or in which company.

This is why nurses have shadow shifts now. You do the initial interview to get permission then just randomly show up one day that week in scrubs and follow a current employee around not even touching anything just watching for a few hours and talking to everybody to see if they're sketchy because nurse recruiters literally have no idea what you actually do they just get paid to find you on linkedin.

Many recruiters are reluctant to answer which company because, if you knew, you might circumvent them and apply directly.

I’ve found it’s easy to do this anyway because the tricks they use to obfuscate the job description tend to be predictable. The original job posting can usually be found within a minute. That’s also without using AI search tools, which might be faster.

Also, where did I claim to be the best? Why do I even want to be the best?

Why do I even want to be the best?

Like no-one ever was? To catch them is my real test, to train them is my cause...

Why the fuck would anyone want to travel across the land, searching far and wide?

Right? Like to teach Pokemon to understand the power that's inside or something?

One recruiter said the hiring company would not pay more than the market average (which already seemed low). I asked if they were hiring average people. He dodged the question.

Capitalism breeds psychopathy, vol. 12

Depends on the situation though, if you're hard to replace at you current position the banner might scare your manager and get you a raise

[-] Apytele@sh.itjust.works 38 points 1 week ago

Right like I have a nursing license I'll get offers even if I don't want 'em. As an nursing assistant getting jobs could be a bit tricky but as a licensed RN with ten years of experience in high acuity psychiatry? I've gotten callbacks on applications I hadn't even finished filling out, within twelve hours. The message I'm sending isn't desperate, it's a warning.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago

nursing is in demand, im sure you wont have trouble finding jobs.

[-] Apytele@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

And even among nurses I have the dubious honor of being extremely good at a specialty literally no one wants.

[-] Phen@lemmy.eco.br 44 points 1 week ago

I was thinking it was actually quite reasonable, until I realized the emoji isn't part of the banner he was talking about.

[-] 3dmvr@lemm.ee 31 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I've had ppl I know hiring or who know people whos job it is to hire (for jobs not relevant to me) tell me to turn it on.

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 week ago

It gives recruiters the green light to contact you. You can easily test this. I've had a lot more recruiters reach out to me with it on than off.

Mf is acting like whether or not you have a job isn't life and death for the majority of people. That's why people were upset with him — not because of an avatar but because their existence depends on their ability to find a job.

What does deep-throating Shrek have to do with employment?

[-] pneumatron@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago

Hey $20 is $20

[-] crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 week ago

A job is a job

[-] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Fiona's been deep-throating Shrek and raising them kids for years now, and she hasn't received a dime. Just a few earwax candles and roasted slug loaf every night. Hope it's worth it.

[-] Takumidesh@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

The thought termination at the end, ugh...

It's not about a banner, the subject is a person and there is a predicate to a direct object. The post is about people who do something, not about the thing they do.

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 11 points 1 week ago

I bet this guy subscribes to the alpha wolf stuff.

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago

To be fair, I don't want a job.

[-] warbond@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

I really wish these assholes would give up on this "survival of the fittest" bullshit, that's not how society works. Motherfuckers heard the description of massive timescale evolution and thought, "omg that's so me!"

We have literally developed the means to completely bypass the struggles of our ancient ancestors and dominate the earth and this guy is talking about the efficacy of hunting versus gathering as though it has any applicability to modern life, and then he gets butthurt about being called out? I'd call him a tool but I don't want to overstate his usefulness.

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

This is true though? As a recruiter I want someone competent. Statistically speaking, that's someone who isn't desperate

[-] phoenixarise@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I’m way ahead of you, I quit LinkedIn 2 years ago. What a cesspool.

[-] Akasazh@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I'm upset but not because of a LinkedIn banner

[-] Pandemanium@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

The whole "open to work" thing started during the pandemic, when everyone was supposed to be staying at home. It was how chuds signaled to each other that they didnt care about the lives of others, that the economy was more important than people dying. The fact that anyone is still using these banners is just... weird.
