Comment on Ghosted After a Job Interview? Report the Company

Sometime ago I had the opportunity to interview and hire 4 interns for our team. We are a very small company and had like 300 applicants. It’s brutal on both sides. I got things to do and deadlines to meet. I can only do so much. So I started replying to of the candidates that didn’t make it. For us it’s very technical and specific what we are looking for, but it’s still hard to say sorry but you didn’t make it. But regardless of what I feel, HR stepped in …two HR people… and they told me to stop sending closure emails. They AI crafted a single reply email and mass mailed it to the remaining people. I think with my heart as if I was the candidate. They think with whatever the fuck makes you think of people as “resources”. It’s probably something to do with not bankrupting the company by bringing the wrong people in and pissing off everyone else.

Some of that is true. One of our candidates turned out to be a nice guy but extremely lazy and entitled. It’s hard to work with someone like that in your small team. Not only do you have to do the hard work that 20 people used to do before the pandemic lay offs but now you also gotta put up with some shit from captain know it all but only after you tech them 39 times what to know and when to know it.

Yeah. They change their own titles, but I worry it’s still the same – they just remembered the ‘human’ part of ‘human resources’ is merely an adjective.

Is the guy properly lazy, or is he just not willing to handle the workload of 20 people? I’m a hard worker, but only up to a certain point. If I joined a small team that had one employee trying to handle the work that used to be split between 20 employees, I wouldn’t exactly be inspired to go above and beyond my post/pay grade; I’d be concerned that no amount of effort I put in would ultimately matter because the team is fundamentally understaffed.

  It’s employee owned. But it’s still under a management structure. There’s a little nepo prick gunning for my job. Yeah life is good. I haven’t quit because I want to keep feeding my kids. It’s a tough position.
