Publish Not your original work? Add source Finding a new job can be really stressful. Creating the perfect CV, scrolling through countless ads, keeping up with the ever-changing marketplace-it's certainly a tough task. Not to mention the companies that place unreal expectations on their potential employees. We've all heard them asking for years of experience for an entry-level position that offers very little to no pay at all. No wonder you get sick and tired of the whole process. But don't worry. You're not the only one: r/recruitinghell is a subreddit where both recruiters and candidates share their ridiculous hiring experiences, so keep scrolling if you want reassurance that the universe hasn't conspired against you and check out some of its best posts below! After you're done, don't forget to check out Bored Panda's previous post about the horrors of finding a new job. This post may include affiliate links. #1

Wajeehrehman Report Final score: 509points POST cybermerlin2000 cybermerlin2000 Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago (edited) Apparently they have to offer open positions to prospective employees even if they intend to recruit/promote from within the company in a lot of places, or they could be dragged through the courts to be fined. I don't agree with the ruling, and it should be removed. A lot of companies ignore it as it is only enforceable if someone notices, but it is a sh*tty rule 94 94points reply View More Replies...

It s Really Not That Complicated

View more comments Bored Panda reached out to Steven Mostyn, a best-selling author and CEO of LP Writers, a professional LinkedIn profile writing service, to talk about the disconnect between job seekers and hiring managers. He specializes in recruitment, resumes and job-hunting strategies, and for over 20 years has successfully coached hundreds into finding a new job. According to Mostyn, one of the motives for setting unrealistic requirements is simply trying to find another worker who has the same set of skills and personality traits as the employee who left. "This is a massive mistake", he said. "It is better for employers to have realistic expectations on hiring someone new for the role and train any areas that they will be missing. If employers fail to do so, they will never be satisfied with the new hire or have an open position for a very long time." #3

After 22 Online Rejections And Ghostings I Finally Got An Interview When I Arrived I Was Told They Had No Intentions Of Hiring Me And Just Wanted To Encourage Me To Continue My Education

damntheelctricfence Report Final score: 429points POST Carol Emory Carol Emory Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago In some states, you can sue them for wasting your time under the "False Promises" clause. If they say they are bringing you in for a job interview and they tell you they had no intention of hiring you but encouraging you to continue with your studies, that's a waste of your time and money. 145 145points reply View More Replies...

Ooooof

kschin1 Report Final score: 424points POST Bill Bill Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago Company: Bring on the robots. 51 51points reply View More Replies... View more comments Another reason could be that employers often have too little tolerance for applicants who do not meet every role aspect. Mostyn agreed that it could be very discouraging: "The candidate may have tremendous skills, personality, and potential but might be overlooked due to unrealistic expectations by the employer," he said. Mostyn told us that if your talents meet the key aspects of the role, tell them all about it during the interview and explain what you can do for the company. "This can sometimes make the employers forget about looking at the nitty-gritty skills and make the focus on what is really important for the job," he explained to Bored Panda. However, candidates can also be too critical of themselves. According to this report, men usually apply for a job after meeting around 60% of the criteria, while women feel they need to meet 100%. But this also means that women are more likely to get hired since they make sure that all expectations are met. #5

Why So Secret

jo_bazz , twitter.com Report Final score: 416points POST WilvanderHeijden WilvanderHeijden Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 11 months ago Because they want your signature in blood on the contract before they tell you that your salary is $12.50 per hour minus the mandatory fees: $1 for coffee money, $2 for heating, lighting and use of office equipment and $1.75 for cleaning your cubicle. 64 64points reply View More Replies... View more comments Lastly, let's not forget new graduates. According to this study, out of almost 4 million job postings on LinkedIn, 35% asked for at least three years of work experience for an entry-level job. Steven Mostyn thinks that the laziness of the employer could be at fault here: "They do not want to go through the trouble and time of training and instead want someone ready to go. This might be fine for the short term, but the employer could lose big time in the future as a candidate with high potential could have done a better job." It's clear that expecting too much of your potential employees is harmful for everyone; companies can drag on with the search and applicants can experience a lack of confidence. Recruiters should be more realistic on what qualities the job actually needs instead of just ticking a bunch of boxes on the list. Just remember, if you have ever been in a situation like this, you can always turn to the r/recruitinghell community and share your own recruitment horror stories. #7

That's okay. But please have a little sympathy for the employEES, who are working on a skeleton crew, doing double work, for slave pay, and getting all kinds of flack from both their bosses, and salty customers, because they're not doing their extra work quickly enough. The employees can't do any hiring or firing, and they have no say in any job advertisements, or misrepresentations therein (or in any repairs or stock orders). They literally have no control. It's not their fault. They're just cogs in a machine, just trying to pay their bills. So hate the employers if you want. That's fair. But PLEASE, be nice to the employees. 5 5points reply View more comments #16
