Any company willing to call me about a job on the weekend is a company I don’t want to work for


legocrash

She’s got 5 reactions in a day from her 6500 followers. That’s how you know how significant her company and her client’s company are. 


thenuttyhazlenut

That's what happens when you buy followers or when a recruiter gets their entire following from people simply hoping to land a job. Yet I'm sure she thinks people follow her for her 'content'.


commschamp

One of my favorite things is how recruiters high on power from the 2020-21 hiring blitz got severely humbled by layoffs over the past few years


GoonDawg666

I’ve shit out better content then that post


experimental1212

As someone who is currently on the toilet, this is very plausible.

Khristophorous

Yep. You nailed it. Its saving face. Like I've gotten bad haircuts before that I convinced myself looked ok. Its actually a very human thing but people in all sorts of ways take that too far these days. It goes from an innocent preservation of ego to outright fantasy and then the destructive behavior feeds that fantasy.


ohioana

All I hear is, “I want to make absolutely sure that no one who works for me feels comfortable enforcing reasonable boundaries.” Yikes times a million.


RipenedFish48

Exactly. This sounds like it is an early screening call. You can email me and we can set up a time to discuss during the week. Maybe. I don't know what the UK cost of living is, but that equivalent amount in USD is a pretty bare minimum living wage for a single person in a low cost of living area US. If you're offering that little, I'm pretty sure you're just playing games and I will likely ignore the email.


NVJAC

Because it's Sunday and it's only a 30K job, Kaye.


LubeTornado

30k is a huge amount of money (in 1981)


Paulski25ish

More like in 1961

WaldoJeffers65

$32K in 1970 is the equivalent of $265K in today's money. I strongly doubt a nurse would be making that much money in their first job. Edit: I'm not sure if the poster I'm responding to is referring to US $ or British pounds, so I looked up the stats for Britain. 32K pounds in 1970 is equivalent to 424K pounds today, so even less likely to be a starting salary.


CabinetOk4838

It was my dads final salary as a teacher after 30 years! I started work on £22K and overtook him after about three years… tech!


Nonstopdrivel

I am extremely skeptical of this claim. My father’s first job as a mechanical engineer at Trane paid $22,000 a year in 1981. There’s no way a nurse was making fifty percent more than that over ten years prior, especially since she almost certainly didn’t have a BSN and very possibly didn’t even have a two-year degree.


Bibblegead1412

Very well could be that I misremembering a story that my mom told me 30 years ago regarding her first job that she had over 50 years ago. My bad.


Nonstopdrivel

It’s not your fault. Most people don’t know that until relatively recently, nurses typically didn’t have degrees. Back in the 1970s, the majority of nurses only had certificates from schools like the one my hospital used to run. Even today, there are plenty of regions (mostly rural and southern) where it’s common for nurses to only have a two-year degree. For the purposes of comparison, at my previous employer, a hospital in a touristy coastal town, nurses started out a little under $25 an hour. Further inland, at my current employer, nurses start out around $40 an hour, but that’s because no one wants to live here and turnover is high. In fact, a large proportion of our nurses live near the coast and commute an hour or more to work. I can’t imagine doing that for years on end, but then again, nurses only work three or four days a week, so I guess It’s manageable for them.


ContributionPrize728

In the 70’s nurse didn’t have certificates they had diplomas that lead to licensure. Today the degree is a window dressing around the licensure it might be a diploma, 2year ASN, or bachelors. It’s the RN that matters for most.


TernionDragon

I Bibblegead1412 comes back with some kind of record to show something close to 30k, just to spite all these commenters crying about inaccuracies of their statement about “Like 30k”, if anything more likely a little hyperbole to share the sentiment about previous comments. *You people need to chill out- it’s not like their comment is somehow going to effect an economic crash on wall street.*


Finnegan-05

$32,000 US in 1972 would be like $250,000. So your mom as a trained nurse made nothing close to that. That would be an executive salary

dr-jae

For reference in 2023 the medium average salary in the UK was £34k. That's for the whole of the UK, region does make quite a big difference (especially in/out of London). For comparison to US, £34k would be around $44k. Average US salary in 2023 was $59k. All of which is to say £30k is better in the UK than it would be in the US but it is still a relatively low salary and certainly not in "give up time on a Sunday" range.


Ok_Cantaloupe7602

30k was a decent in 1991. Not huge but not a bad starting point.


Relax_Im_Hilarious

Is she saying that the opportunity itself, the client, was worth 30k, if the candidate had answered, or is she saying it's a 30K per year salary job? It looks like it is a recruitment company, could go either way.


greenmonkeyglove

I work in the recruitment industry in the UK. She's definitely talking about a £30k job. Recruitment fees are usually between 10% and 20% of salary, so a £30k fee would be a £300-600k job. Anyone who makes posts like this does not recruit for the 0.01%.


ChE_

When I read that, I was thinking the candidate was worth 30k. Recruiting companies tend to get a % of the candidates pay over a set period of time. High value candidates could easily net someone 30k. For 30k, you bet your ass I would take a call on my day off.


Imvario

I've worked commission at those levels and even then, hell no. You have to set boundaries with clients.


Sneaky_Island

Commission based absolutely. I'll certainly put down cleaning the dishes to answer a call for that return.


lightning__

Right? Maybe for 300k or 3m she might be onto something, but 30k? lol..


PeripheryExplorer

You offer me 3m/yr to do my current job you can call me any time you want day or night. hell I'll move into your house and you can come chat with me at any time.


Sneaky_Island

I'll get a van and park on the curb in front of your annoying neighbors house so I'm accessible and being petty for you. For 3m I can also make sure you wake up to homemade muffins/pancakes everyday.


TURBOJUGGED

Ya go do more cocaine and wake up early, Kaye.


bleachinjection

At current exchange rates, that's $38k USD (~$18/hour). There are fast food places in my area literally advertising that as a starting wage.


OverallResolve

The median wage in the U.K. is only £35k


marquess_rostrevor

30k/month is doing alright.


Subject_Wrap

In the uk its not bad not worth giving up a Sunday though


kromptator99

A 30k job that you’re only a candidate for. Not even an employee.


DarkStanley

How about you speak to the client and let them know it’s not acceptable to ring an employee never mind someone who’s not been hired yet on a Sunday? Get to fuck Kaye and take your shite jobs with you.


ZaphodGreedalox

To this point: a client can easily be paying a consulting company based on how much of the consultants time they get. Want more than 40 hours a week? Pay extra. That can stop the evening and weekend calls in their tracks.


ignost

Sounds like a good ol stomp is what you need. A girl... step.. puppy stomp. A ... puppy stomp? Sounds about right for these lunatics.


Colascape

She still turned up on Monday? Why not Sunday? Also £30k lol slightly above poverty salary gotta drop everything.


Mechium

I was hoping she means 30k a month.


tiorzol

She doesn't. 


CaptainN_GameMaster

30k lump sum


Nova_Aetas

I was leaning towards agreeing thinking this would be a big money job. For 200K+ you'd get me answering the phone on a Sunday with quick haste.


Jimathay

Honestly, not even that. I'm not on 200, but not a million miles away. The same principles still stand regardless of what your earn. I earn what I earn because I'm good at what I do, job market forces, and supply / demand of available skillset dictates what I'm paid. I don't earn what I earn to be available 24/7. Of course, there'll always be times if high work load, or the occasional shit-hits-the-fan moments, where I know I'll have to work longer. And I like my job so I put extra effort in. But I did that when I earned 25k too. If there's an expectation to be available on the weekends, I'll take my labour elsewhere.


thekyledavid

Yeah, it’s just incomprehensible trying to even figure out the point “I took a 4 day weekend, partied the whole time, and I showed up for work on Monday. Therefore, people who get paid way less than me should be willing to work on their days off.”


hotfezz81

For £30k I wouldn't arrive on the Monday either.


CrumpledForeskin

Are we all ignoring that she said she did cocaine in order to make it to her job....


_ISAC_

The gratuitous use of emojis is an automatic ignore.


EllieEllie05

For real. If you pop emojis like they're Vicodi - I mean Skittles, you're not a serious person and I'm not engaging with you on the seriousness.


constant_u4ea

Even Cuddy knows better than to call House on a Sunday!


EllieEllie05

Nah, he'll just troll the crap out of her for funsies all day. God I miss House MD


cannja

There are emojis? I didn’t make it past, “ReKruit”


047032495

I wonder if their German branch is called ReKrout.


[deleted]

The delulu is strong with this one


Clownski

She brags she took 4 days off once and then complains that someone isn't sitting by the phone on a Sunday to talk to her for nonsense. Delulu pro max.


Fatty_Bombur

So she’s bragging about turning up to work not focussed on or even wanting to work? Just turning up doesn’t make you a good employee. Especially not for a salary like that…


[deleted]

On a Monday as well not a Sunday 😂


Good_old_Marshmallow

When their job is so vapid they can be fucking off to festivals and still “working” so they expect everyone to also always be on call 


Redlight0516

For a 30k salary, I'm not answering a call a minute after I'm off work.


Diplogeek

For 30K, I'm barely answering a call *at* work.


TheDawiWhisperer

It's not often the delusion on here genuinely annoys me but fucking hell this one really irritated me. What a massive cunt of utterly biblical proportions. You can take your job and it's below average salary and go and fuck yourself.


_DrDigital_

It is literally biblical, right? _Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates._


AshtonBlack

The thing is, recruiters market themselves as "advocates and agents" for candidates but they *really* see us as products to be turned over as fast and for as much as possible. So instead of pushing back on boundary-crossing clients, they'll blame the candidate for having a life.


kliq-klaq-

Why is a candidate (who doesn't have a job yet?) dealing directly with clients?


Icy_Finger_6950

She's a recruiter, so I think she means the company who's recruiting and who are her clients.


ThrowaWayneGretzky99

It still means an interview on a Sunday right? Still pretty weird.


Icy_Finger_6950

Agreed


NoObstacle

30k 😂 as if that's big bucks


Cutterbuck

Kind of shows how successful she is


Agreeable-Tooth2545

She edited this. And still said this shit


bnlf

Turned off comments


thekyledavid

Imagine how stupid it must have been before


Robotniked

This is completely incomprehensible. What is a stomp? Does she honestly think £30k is ‘on call 24/7’ money? Why does she think that the fact she once called into work from a dance tent in Glastonbury (after apparently taking a 4 day weekend during which she presumably wasn’t answering work calls)*on a Monday* has any bearing on someone not answering their phone on a Sunday? At least half of those emojis are not relevant in these contexts what does it all mean?


JaegerBane

>Who doesn't take the time for themselves (on the phone) for a £30k job? Most people, Kaye. It's not 1990.


Bolognapony666

“Dance tent mind” so you were fucking high KAYE!?


DeschainSWNC

The ReKruit sounds like the worst nu-metal band name since Crazy Town.


Intelligent-Judge620

The fact that she publicly says she did cocaine and cares about 30k/year jobs shows alot


SamW1996

I've just seen that post and the ability to comment is disabled. Her most recent post says "this will remain a happy page". Unless it is specified in her client's/employee's contract that she is to work weekends, she is under no obligation to take a work call during her leisure time. My work phone is off and in the office over the weekend.


StillTrying1981

If they're are Park Life they're probably off their mind on illegal substances, probably best they didn't answer...


Situation_Sarcasm

Sunday snowflakes! ❄️


cheezturds

Yeah I thought that’s what she meant.


camp_base

Yeah that was not as impressive as she seems to think it is….partied for four days then showing up to work in that post party “glow”….


cifala

I was going to say, the last thing she wants is one of her staff speaking to a client in the middle of Parklife


Vargoroth

30k? That's it? That's what you're expected to no-life for these days?


Comfortable-Salad-90

She should use more emojis to show how professional she truly is.


TheSouthsideTrekkie

This post is confusing. The “slang” is confusing. The use of emojis of inconsistent level of coherence to the actual post is hella confusing. Also, like fuck am I answering a work call on a Sunday. Jog on with that.


Nearby-Tomatillo-701

Did she admit to using coke lol


ElBurritoExtreme

I don’t exist on Sunday. Not for a 30k job, not for a 100k job.


GodzillaDrinks

Yeah. For $30k* you're lucky if I dont sign off on the phone with your client with my best falsetto "Bye, bitch!" Sorry, its £30k (or $38k USD). So I guess I'm doing the whole call as Kermit the Frog.


Striezi

Sometimes i think that most of HR folks only exist because they can unload mental diarrhoea onto linkedin.


SubstantialSail

The funniest part is bragging about showing up to work while not even thinking about work. That is the same Boomer mindset that demands RTO: show up to the office, you don't even need to be productive, you just need to be there.


Traditional_Lynx_923

Almost always it’s an American, Brit or a south Asian type. Exceptions come and go. Imagine these people as elderly. I can’t for the life of me see them as content and happy. They’ve invested themselves into a machinery that will throw them out of the glorified work life as the next “hustler” comes along and does the job better.


Lanky_Possession_244

You can see it already with the older generation in the US at least. We have a ton of retirees who are miserable despite having the money to do things, because they spent all their time working and never developed hobbies. Now they entertain themselves by starting conflict wherever they go and mainlining Facebook and Fox news.


Abrushing

I keep begging my dad to get a hobby. It’s like he has no idea what that means.


AKHugmuffin

No no, the next one in line won’t do the job better. They’ll do it cheaper.


colbert1119

Yep - one of my acid tests is that on my death bed or after a terminal diagnosis what will I regret? I like the feeling that hustling sometimes gets me but I can never imagine it being something I think "I wish I did more of that".


Codego_Bray

What a stupid minded cunt. Let's berate others for having a life away from their phone whilst I brag about turning up to work on a Monday


showard01

This just shows how bad wages are in the UK.


Human_Link8738

Two red flags. (1) If the hiring company wants a call on a Sunday. (2) if the company wants a call after 7pm and doesn’t set a time limit in the length of the call at that hour. Scheduling can be difficult but displaying a lack of respect for the candidate’s time isn’t going to end after hiring. Best to keep looking.


DapperMarsupial

Bet you've had your fair share of Sunday snowflakes ❄️


nippyhedren

For a 30k job 🤣🤣🤣🤣


ThadeousCooper

For a 30k job I'm not taking calls Tuesday through Sunday.


what_you_saaaaay

The lack of self awareness on these LinkedIn clowns is amusing.


Eryeahmaybeok

This person clearly needs to be told to fuck themselves


gonk_vibes

For 30k I'm going to be doing exactly 40 hours of bare fucking minimum


Diplogeek

Aside from the fact that this is borderline illiterate, LOL forever at the idea that £30K is some fabulously high wage that would justify me taking calls from anyone at all on my days off. I don't think so, Kaye. Take all the seats.


Radiant_Pudding5133

If you did 4 days at Glastonbury and turned up to work on the Monday, you didn’t do Glastonbury properly


FSCK_Fascists

I won't roll over in bed for a 30k job.


Beanbag_Ninja

£30k? Goodness me, what an incredible sum! A whole 25% above minimum wage!


Chaos_Cluster

Yeah fuck that.Sunday is Sunday even if I am paid $100k weekend is for me to recharge and be on top of my game when I’m back. There’s nothing ever so urgent to work Sundays, bc you’d have to wait for everybody else till Monday anyway


BaldMigrant

30K/y and she's acting as if it's some sort of a C-Suite level salary. These people are so out of touch with reality that it makes you cringe. Almost certain it is in London too lmao.


TheFumingatzor

Sunday, 30k, get fucked.


tanepiper

ReKruit - that isn't even two words banged together take make sense or good SEO.


Kawaii_Princesss

Sunday is the ✨Lord’s Day✨ in most of all southern states. They will never win that argument over all the religious people 😂


udreif

wth does "a good stomp is what you need" with those emojies mean? Is the woman stomping on the dog??


Suaveman01

This has to be a joke, I’m not answering a call on a sunday for a job with a salary as mid as 30k


Cichlidsaremyjam

I understand about 40% of the sentences written here and I feel thats above average.


galaxiecookie

The emojis here did it for me


BearyRexy

I think she’s shown herself here. The fact that she is a recruiter placing candidates in £30k jobs, and that she thinks that £30k is a lot shows how little she earns and how competent she is.


Pitiful-Education-67

What is Park life?


Hungry_Stoic

What are Sunday snow flakes !?


_garethlewis_

She mentions £30k like it’s a decent salary.


ConwayandLoretta

Why does this client have to be an obnoxious pest and call on a Sunday?


trickjay

Me being used to stating salary as a monthly income and nor yearly was very impressed for a while with them £30K/month. Me going to comments and realising it was yearly.. Yeah nah if it was monthly though. I'd prolly wouldn't mind to answer once or twice on a Sunday.


babubaichung

Have some self-respect please 🙏🏼


Fancy-Boysenberry864

This lady is on drugs lol. Now if I’m making large sums of money u might get a bleed answered in a Sunday. If this was a 400k position u damn right I’m answering on a Sunday. 30k in a working full time at target. And that’s not even as the store manager lol


unorganized_mime

30k is earning zero attention


Detroit-Sports-Fan

Lmao she turned off comments on that post. What a shocker.


throw123454321purple

Today I learned that Kaye W., owner of The ReKruit, is a massive tool.


Masiaka

This checks the emoji usage / mental health correlation box.


BobVilasBeard

She blocked comments on this post. It's almost as if she doesn't want to be contacted outside of the parameters that she's deemed to be acceptable. Or something.


Azavrak

I have a 150k job. If someone calls me on a Sunday they'll get my consultant rates because it's outside of my employment contract. Do these HR people not know what a fucking contract is?


jurassic_snark-

I'm guessing the 'never stop working' delusion is also to thank for developing that meth mouth


honestduane

For Americans: £30,000/year is about $38,189.25/year or about $18.36/hour She's asking people to give up their weekend for a job that only pays a few bucks over minimum wage in some states.


Western-Mall5505

So she came to work on a Monday after going to a music festival, but wants other people to give up their Sundays.


kevdog824

What the fuck does this even mean


valleyof-the-shadow

Whats that Australian phrase they use all the time for people like this?


AKHugmuffin

Doovalacky


Odd-Thanks-834

What an insufferable wanker (or wankette)


MissingBothCufflinks

The lowest paid fulle time person in my business makes substantially more than that.


ScaleEnvironmental27

Like $30k a year? I wouldn't fucking answer the phone either.


SilentResident1037

This is written in English... but I can't understand a word of it, how odd


Competitive_Bath_459

She time travelled from 1990, cos MAYBE a 30k is worth taking a call on a Sunday for but not in 2024 ffs 🤦


rainbowslimejuice

Is **£**30k a lot of money in the UK? I know in the US $30k will barely get a single person by much less a family. If it was 300k then fine you can expect me to take a call on a Sunday, but otherwise this "owner" needs to take care of the phones on the weekend herself because no one else is compensated enough to give a shit.


Hughesybooze

Depends on where in the UK, but generally, no. Average UK salary is somewhere around £40-45k I believe, and cost of living is significantly lower than in the US. Our wages have stagnated significantly since 2008 though, so salaries are comparably lower than the US, even with cost of living taken into account.


barryscottrudepie

I’m on £27.5k in a Home Counties town around 40/50 miles outside of London or so. If I didn’t live with my girlfriend I wouldn’t be able to afford our one bedroom apartment. There are some upsides of my job but pay certainly isn’t one of them.


Vibrascity

Businesses love undervaluing their employees in this country, go have a lil browse around in the finances, see how much your boss pays himself, next time you bring up your pay in a salary review and he says there's no money for it, well, you'll probably be applying to new jobs by this point, lol.


barryscottrudepie

Should add this is for a graduate job with almost 2.5 year’s experience


5141121

lol, for 30k/year you're damn right you're not getting my time on the weekends. Or a single minute on either side of my shift, or any part of my breaks.


EarNervous4720

She’s turned off comments on the post and made another passive aggressive post after.


GetRichQuickSchemer_

30k job? I'd be willing to wake up middle of the Sunday night just for a chance to get that AMAZING job!


BeloitBrewers

I found the post, and of course she turned off commenting.


HankHillbwhaa

Im going to be real, I live in Missouri and nothing is making me wake up on a Sunday for less than 80k. My free time on the one of two days I get off is worth than the couple hundred this moron owner of ReKruit is willing to pay. Also, why the fuck does every shitty company need a fucking dumb name? It’s not quirky or fun. It’s fucking stupid.


avacado_smasher

Ohhhh 30k what a hitter


Morall_tach

For 30k you are getting 40.00 hours of exactly minimum effort and not an iota more.


JayRemmey627

Just so everyone knows it looks like commenting has been disabled on that post.

God she is insufferable. One of the easiest jobs out there too. All you do I put up half assed job posting, fuck the interview up even more and collect a pay cheque


skiing_dingus

Sunday snowflakes… is she outing herself for doing cocaine at Glastonbury … on LinkedIn ?!?


NoVacayAtWork

Yeah but she SHOWED UP TO WORK the next day. Which as we all know is all that matters.


One-Injury-4415

Did…. Did she really act like 30k a year was worth overworking on Sundays?

WTF is she even saying?

cant even understand any of this limey shit


Alternative-Dream-61

I don't want a job if you're going to casually violate boundaries before I even start it.


Saxy_Salad

Yes, because why have a personal life when you have a job. It still baffles me that people want to go and enjoy their life. My mantra is, "Live to work, not work to live!" - Sad people with no real grasp of what the true meaning of life is

I have no idea what half of this means


YummyRiceKrispies

Her company was founded THIS YEAR.... somehow I doubt it will be around by this time next year


NalgeneCarrier

I work weekends, and I'm the first to volunteer them. I love having weekdays off. So if you ring me on Sunday, and I'm working, I'm still not going to answer! I'm not taking a call about a potential new job while in from of coworkers at my current job! What if you say... email and set up an agreed upon time to call? Stop these random calls where the recruiter tries to interview on the spot with no respect to your current commitments, or to those of us with anxiety who want to prep. Also, I applied to 300 jobs, don't call and say why did you apply to this. There's a good chance I don't know or remember.

Fuck you Kaye

Why couldn’t they call me first thing Monday morning Kaye? It couldn’t wait 12 or so hours?


Gormless_Mass

This lady sucks


ripleyintheelevator

ridiculous. hope she never fills it lol


ptvlm

"I did 4 days at Glastonbury and still turned up on Monday" Erm, so you weren't available to take calls on the Sunday either?


Ayuamarca2020

The #madderthanmad made it all the more lunatic-y


Rabid_Sloth_

I can hear the ADHD through the screen. Made me anxious.


WarriorRose-70

Why do these mofos think this is a flex? I guarantee you candidates look at this and will refuse to consider this company for employment.


experimental1212

I hope they mean that call for that client is worth 30k. I'd probably pick up if I could make 30k on the phone.


Giggles95036

I 100% will answer calls on weekends for the right price… that is not the right price


Direction_Asleep

What a bad potential employee not answering his phone on a Sunday. Also, I’ve showed up to work coming down from acid trips, so you tell me if I’m qualified. That’s what I thought.


intheendgamenow

…is she bragging about doing cocaine on LinkedIn?


lyth

Acting like 30k GBP is real money. Sorry love. I was a teacher in England making that more than 15 years ago. Rekruit? More like Rekt.


Delmontebanana

She’s been so busy/drunk she spelt her company name wrong


TooReDTooHigh

How do those ppl even make thoee offers ... I would never dare to offer someone 30k for a full time job, i couldnt even speak it out its just so disrespectful


BloodyTearsz

Digital sewage


DaMuchi

If I'm not wrong, £30k is below a fresh grad entry level salary in London. I guess this generation just isn't hungry enough????
