re: final sentence..

They're also arrogant and hate people who "demand a skilled wage"... but didn't have to spend 6 years on college to be qualified to make more than 40k per year...

a.k.a.. the 'mistake' here likely wasn't a mistake.. it was malice compounded by incompetence

@crft Nice story, but the truth is that companies pay extra for automated systems like that which filter out any candidates that aren't a perfect match.

It's the whole reason that self-proclaimed experts are saying that sending in resumes is nearly pointless and social networking is the only way to get a job.

@VinceAggrippino @crft yeah that's great til nepotism destroys your entire company because nobody has any actual skills.

@crft idk, I think most people are mediocre at their jobs — probably self included. It’s not exclusive to HR.

@crft

The entire HR process is a fucked up mess and I don't know how anyone even gets a job anymore.

Auto rejection systems from HR make me angry. I'm a tech lead and for 3 months HR wasn't able to find a single person for the position we're looking. I've created myself a new email and sent them a modified version of my CV with a fake name to see what was going on with the process and guess, I got auto rejected. HR didn't even look at my CV. I took this up to management and they fired half of the HR department in the following weeks, the issue was they were looking for an angularjs developer while we were looking for an Angular one (different frameworks, similar names), this kind of silly mistakes must and can be fixed in minutes, and since the CVs were auto rejecting profiles without angularjs in it we literally lost all possible candidates. The truly infuriating part was that I consistently talked to them asking for progress and they always told me that they had some candidates that didn't pass the first screening processes (which was false).

People who work in HR are incredibly mediocre and lazy.
