Applicants probably spend more time skimming job openings than Managers spend skimming through CVs (lemm.ee)

Much easier to reject bad CVs. On the other hand every job post is the same and you have to check Glassdoor and Crunchbase before applying to a potential bad company

Their recruiter sucks, because that should be one of the first discussions you have after initial qualifications.

I am genuinely curious how often this is policy vs just recruiters being bad at their jobs. Maybe they're incentivized to generate leads/candidates instead of actual hires? That kind of makes sense if senior leadership is dumb enough.

The thing is that we discussed it in the initial call. They seemed fine with it. I'm guessing they got some sucker to take a lower rate

What a bizarre interview process man. Sorry you even had to be part of that. That's so dumb.
