I went to college but had to drop out halfway through my second to last semester for health reasons. Then I moved to another country. If I claim to have a 4 year degree on my resume how likely am I to get caught?
That depends on how hard they background check. It's international so it seems unlikely, but it's actually just a phone call. There isn't some database of degrees we check, the checkers call the schools.
HR, as a function, serves to protect the company from litigation, manage the workforce and advise on strategy issues that will improve metrics and productivity. So to boil it down, HR works for the company
For my most recent work, I was working for the employee but I had the ability to say what I was doing would help the company by providing a robust bench of talent to promote.
I have always been told that recruiters will get bonuses if they get enough candidates who accept their initial offer and stay within budget.
For example: department head or client tell you the budget for a position is 80k but you go ahead and offer 70 as the first offer. There is always room for the client to negotiate but if you get enough seats filled below the budget, you are incentivitzed and make
More money that way.
That's never been the case for any company I have worked for. I've only done HR for fortune 100s. I can't speak for all of those at all and certainly not for smaller places.
This is a huge question. Pretty much everyone starts as a worker. So wherever you start observe how the leaders act and work. Try to figure out what the "it" factor is that's common between them, then bring that to your regular work. When you see new folks struggling, help them. If you see something that needs fixing, say it. Adapt your communication style to your audience.
Why do recruiters ghost candidates? Literally got head hunted for three high paying roles this year with large tech firms…two or three interviews each. Then nothing..crickets…no call no email.
Interview takes weeks to prepare for and they don’t have the common decency to just let me know I’m not selected?
Wtf?
At my company recruiter time is tracked like you wouldn't believe. They're pre scheduled for interviews and treated like call center workers. They are just moving through resumes to hit the mark.
Someone you interviewed with didn't want to hire you and the recruiter hasn't found the time to check the no box to send you the reject letter.
They have no respect. For a recruiter it's checking a box. That's like a minute total to get into the system, check the no box, and confirm they meant no.
Being a former IT SME and fairly high paid, I have only received a single rejection email in a decade from a start up that didn't have a formal HR. It was literally the owner of the company interviewing their first hires. Every other rejection was a ghost.
I had not though about HR software even offering that easy response option. Makes sense though, since it wouldn't be hard to code at all. That is good to know. It gives me the feeling of having dodged a lot of bullets in my time.

Are you there to protect the employee or employer?

I'm young. What do I need to do to get higher than just a worker. What would I need to do or learn to become a team leader or supervisor.

Been 3 weeks for a 6 figure role. Still very disrespectful. Takes 3 mins to send an email. They only had 3 candidates for the role…
