You forgot the part where picks up the phone and hires his cousin Phil who doesn’t have a degree, training, or any experience.

"Who do they think we are? Google?"
Proceeds to use Google's interview process...

Basically "you're too competent; we can't afford that, we're trying _not_ to pay our slaves". lol

[Dimpledballz]

Everybody is hiring! We're hiring Everybody! Nobody wants to work!

Meanwhile I just went through 3 steps of an interview process with progressive insurance. Never talked to a real person and got denied the position with no explanation.

[Biospark]

I don't like how real this feels.

"No professional experience? That's not enough for this entry level position. We can't afford to train junior developers. Let some other business do that."

[Jankypuffs]

The real satire of this skit is the notion that resumes are reviewed by an actual person 😂. Nice work as always, Josh.

In 1995 I had a company recruiter go through almost exactly that same script in reviewing my resume, but did it to my face with me sitting across the desk from her. I was being interviewed for a financial analyst position at a business unit of a Fortune 500 company. I had already worked successfully in two jobs that covered all of the responsibilities for the position. The pay for the position was almost $20, 000 more than my last highest salary, mainly because I had worked for smaller companies, although the business volume was just as high as for that business unit. But I was 48 and had already held a small company CFO and business unit general manager position. 5 minutes into the interview I was given the standard line - We don't hire overqualified people because they leave quickly for better paying jobs. (Completely ignored that their job was already higher paying and that they could have gotten a person who would deliver results immediately, instead of having to learn the job.)

What it came down to was my age and that I had been unemployed and working only temp jobs for the previous year during a recessionary period. Everything else the recruiter said was just BS. So because of age and employment status, not qualifications or pay expectations, they chose to continue to search to fill a position that had been open for more than 6 months and for which they had almost no previous applicants. That was the interview that drove home for me the concept that employers don't really want to hire people for open jobs. It is better for the senior managers' bonuses to have jobs open long term and keep both headcount and salary expense down.

You missed “give this candidate our ‘case study’ (our current business problem), string them along, and use it as free consulting and tell them we hired internally”

Despite needing glasses, the HR man is too blind to realize his hypocrisy.

[Mazxlol]

Don't forget all the other applications that were deleted by software due to some key words

[xMrPapadaplis]

I have a masters and was actually told by the hiring manager I wouldn't be hired as "most people in the position you're applying for don't have higher than a bachelor's." So this is pretty spot on.

Joshua you're going to get sue, you can't record a HR recruiter withouth company aproval

[citydweller]

I did an experiment last year where I applied for jobs while employed. Ended up getting 3 job offers.

5 years ago, I was laid off and it took me 6 months to find a job even though there were jobs open. And I think it was due to companies innate bias against unemployed people.

[Tarsarian]

When I would read job applications to interview people for my building, HR would always give me a stack of people who were just bad candidates with constant job changes. If people had experience and schooling, they would put them in a different stack of "Don't Interview"!
We live in a crazy world these days and if you have a good job? Keep it and make it work!

[vimmier]

the hiring process went from "hi I'd like a job. you're hired, see you on Monday" to "we demand robot slaves who will work 24/7 and don't want any kind of workers rights"

[Damian-lusx]

Someone should do a compilation video of every time Joshua does that ironic corporate voice. I always laugh my shit off of it!

[Reeces_Pieces]

Way too real. All you're missing is him using automated software instead of actually reading resumes.

[droptozro]

You forgot the stack of resumes' on the edge of the desk that never get touched.

[mikes]

One mistake: HR uses application tracking software so they don't have to manually filter through resumes. It lets them knock off early after taking a long lunch.
