LOL some guy actually tried to apply in person at our company today

[BrahPlease]

the old way worked better. very disrespectful of OP to tell him to leave. gtfo with a 20 page bs test and fake resume chit that everyone lies on. a 15 minute conversation in person will tell you 5000% more than a computer test ever will.

[GMiscer]

He should write a letter to the CEO about how their hiring manager is afraid to do real work and hides behind his secretary when someone puts in enough effort to show up.

Our CEO has a no nonsense attitude about following rules.
If anything he would be pleased that I did things by the book.

To be fair to some hr policies, there are a ton of applicants for jobs, especially good jobs. A job I'm at got over 6000 applicants.

Hr can't filter through 6k resumes

[Shiboopi]

As in he came to our company with his resume and asked to speak directly with the hiring manager (me).
I had my secretary tell him we only accept applications online and I don't just talk to unsolicited job candidates.
He probably thought we'd be impressed because he showed up in person unlike all others who apply online.

Apply online.
A computer program will scan your resume for key phrases.
Your resume will be scored on these key phrases based on some formula.
If your resume scores high enough you will get a phone interview.
If you score high enough on the phone interview you'll be invited to a series of personal interviews.
If the total score of all your personal interviews is high enough compared to all the other people we interview then you'll get an offer.

This isn't the 1990's anymore where you can just show up to a decent place of employment and expect to talk to the hiring manager.

I personally think that's stupid. Having a personal interview is important.

So basically the only people that can get hired at your place are those that are filled in on what type of phrasing you're looking for, i.e. friends/family of employees. Sounds like a government job to me.

[YasiinBey]

He's going to apply online and then immediately call to ask if you received his resume. If you give him an interview he's going to send a thank you card afterwards.

lol i'm about to do this

[Boardwalk]

Op likely tells larger car owners to get out the compact car spots

By the book he says

Get off your soap box op

Just cause They parked in the compact car spot doesn't mean they were exacerbating the problem

strong arrogant *******

the old way worked better.

It's called the old way because it worked better in the older days.
Things change.
Adapt instead of getting all nostalgic about how things were done in the old days.

very disrespectful of OP to tell him to leave.

It didn't have to do with respect.
There are certain protocols to hiring and interacting with job candidates.
You can't just meet every dude who comes in off the street.

Right, because a person can't fake it and be on their best behavior during a "15 minute conversation".

[thsker]

Mind blown every time at the number of unaware miscers.

[iDShaDoW]

Wonder if I'm the only one who negged OP for being a ****g0t.

[cdomangue1]

Thats whats wrong with this world. no one wants to talk face to face anymore. its all about computer and social media.

I have been having a hard time getting interviews and this is why. i dont have enough "key phrases".
fuk you OP

you sound like you have no idea of the real world and prolly hire the worst possible candidates. a "15 minute conversation" WILL tell a billion times more than a resume ever will. a neckbeard can type a resume in their dungeon basement and you would think they need to be CEO, but in person they are social retarded and totally unfit for the job.

[MLC85]

This.

inb4 he walks across the street to your competitors who take him and he revolutionizes the industry.

I wish that would happen.. I get that pooling from online increases chances of talent vs. just whoever walks in, but, to not only have a policy to not respect a person that can come in and make a presence, but to have a ****gy hiring manager that LOL's @ someone walking their ass in, I bet that office is socially akward. Probably did the guy a favor by not subjecting him to that environmnent..


EDIT. - Did not even notice this is a Gmiscer thread... GJDM. Repped

[backintheda]

Negged on sight.

Srs

This dude who walked in May have been a great asset to the company and you could have been the hiring manager who placed the next up and comer

You missed out op

You missed out

[miscpaggot]

probably the most successful troll in the misc

look at all the dumbasses still falling lol

[jmcdizzle44]

You took this off Sherdog

What a stupid fukking idea. In turn your laziness is going to come back to bite you when you're continuously hiring sh|t staff because a computer program said their resume was better than someone else's based on the right "words". Just lmao. If you don't like reading resumes, don't be a hiring manager.

Respect for the guy actually taking the time to come in and introduce himself. He's shown initiative right off the bat, something which a lot of people don't have these days.

[RandomWalk]

A good friend of mine did this for an associate position at an investment bank a few years ago and got the job. This person made a bit shy of $500,000 last year. Personally I would have at least told the guy to send me an email to potentially continue the conversation later.

[user3657]

OP is some idiot that has a job because he has dirt on some c-level.

furk your company. Sounds like a bunch of idiots and ego driven circle jerk.

[TR88]

fkn lol at op, he is one of those *******s who work for someone

ceo/10k a day checking in from monte carlo, posting from a yacht

[DATNEWNEWNEW]

op's probably trolling, but at the same time he IS trying to show you something about life.

similar to my thread about how modern life is twisted scam

Fuk that. I'd rather work in construction than jump through the hoops for your ****gy company, opie.

That's why we don't rely on just the resume.
That's why we have different levels of interviews.
That's why we have written assessments that have been validated by psychologists.

But of course you think a casual 15 minute chat can tell you more than all that.

[RedSox1990]

I have no idea.
It's some computer program that scores resumes based on some formula.
All I get is the score for each resume.

So I'll just make a 1000 page resume with a bunch of phrases and I win since none of you higher ups have the time to do your job and look at the actual resume?

Exactly this. This is a lost art and a forgotten skill, not something to laugh about. Sounds almost like you're jealous of his drive and initiative. Anyone can throw in the right buzz words and BS their resume to get it through the system and into your hands. Those computer programs end up filtering through countless people who send the same thing to 50 companies, meaning they don't have the willingness to hone their interest in on your particular company to the point of actual coming in person to apply. If someone came in to see me like that then I'd politely tell them that unfortunately due to policy he has to apply online. But his name would be in the forefront of my mind from that point forward. You took a different route and while he'll be successful, it likely will be with a competing company.

[NMS3]

Strong HR skills, OP.

Yea right. Another company will take him. As another poster said, the candidate isn't being lazy; he showed up in person.

We don't rely on just the resume.
We have interviews and written assessments as part of the interview.
