re: I’m convinced these companies posting jobs aren’t actually wanting to hire people

My wife works as a recruiter for companies that have DOD contracts. The problem that she is running into is two fold.

First is the lower end that apply for an entry level position but take their time in getting back in touch

Second problem is not minority hiring quotas, but what she calls superman job descriptions. They put out the job posting and they can find candidates that will check 5 of 6 boxes....but the contractor wants that 6th one...usually a certification.

Also because she deals with tech heavy there are a lot of requests for remote options....for Secret clearances you can get that flexibility but for TS/SCI you really cannot.

I dont go out to eat much, maybe once or twice a month when the wife just wants a break or the kids really want to go out for some favorite snack food they like at some chain.

In the past three months, lots of places are short of workers. Very short. As in, turning customers away because even though tables are empty the kitchen is short staffed or there aren't enough waiters.

I cannot believe they would prefer to let that happen while simmply waiting for some gay or black person to show up asking for a job but not taking whites.

I find it far more believeable that they don't want to pay well or take care of insurance or demand extra hours but no overtime pay, etc.

That's actually pretty funny!

In my state, you must pay OT and wages have gone up almost across the board. Help wanted signs everywhere. hotel workers who recently received raises are skipping out on work. They just recently had to hire more staff because furloughed workers don’t want to come back.

People don’t want to work and have found ways to game the system so they can lay around all day
