Tech firm fires most of HR team after Tech lead anonymously gets resume rejected by ATS.

Half of the human resources (HR) team at a US-based tech company was terminated by the manager. Frustrated by the HR department’s inability to find suitable candidates for more than three months, the manager decided to investigate. The tech lead from Bolivia then discovered a critical flaw in the applicant tracking system (ATS) after his own resume got rejected. A photo posted on Reddit shows the manager’s application being rejected at 10:56 AM, the exact minute it was submitted.
quote:
Despite being highly qualified, his application was dismissed without any human intervention. The error had gone unnoticed by HR, who had been attributing their hiring problems to a lack of qualified applicants. To his surprise, it was instantly rejected. "I got auto-rejected. HR didn't even look at my CV," he wrote in the post.
quote:
He discovered the key problem, which he explains was that the job listing required Angular expertise, but the system was filtering for AngularJS, an outdated and entirely different framework. "'The issue was they were looking for an angularjs developer while we were looking for an Angular one (different frameworks, similar names), These kinds of silly mistakes must and can be fixed in minutes, and since the CVs were auto-rejecting profiles without angularjs in it we lost all possible candidates. The truly infuriating part was that I consistently talked to them asking for progress and they always told me that they had some candidates that didn't pass the first screening processes (which was false). People who work in HR are incredibly mediocre and lazy,'' he vented

That’s a great start, HR is useless.

HR is mostly make work for women. They don't produce anything. I get having someone to resolve company politics and social strife and standards to manage that, but most HR work isn't that.

Most HR departments are staffed solely by single, overweight, bitter, shrewish women who are drunk on power and looking to Kamala their way to a promotion.

My experience with HR people is they are generally bottom tier of business school graduates. Some exceptions but not many.

For the most part, he’s 100% correct
The bar for performance for most of these positions is extremely low, they’re rarely held accountable, most people outside of their department really know what they do. The only redeeming thing is that they’re usually the first to get canned when things get tight because they’re typically redundant and are a dime a dozen.

I have noticed that I don't even get a second look when applying now. I have over 25 years of experience in my field and not one call, email or anything for any of the jobs I have applied for in the last 6 months. AI is great apparently.

Wow I’m glad I have a solid hr department to keep me safe from all these bitter hr haters

ATS systems are awful. The internet and online application systems have ruined hiring.

This is why I love my company. We actually have a team of people who just focus on recruiting and read resumes. No elimination via questions that mean nothing.
Automating recruiting isn’t going as well as many had hoped.

At my old company, it was mostly young attractive white women fresh out of school with useless degrees. My boss was a huge simp and thought hiring them would get him browning points. He ended up having to leave because one of them thought he was being creepy.

Not a good task for women to have.

Bring back the old-fashioned Personnel Department.

Automated resume screening needs to go. It's a plague.

I de-select allowing AI to process my CV when I’m allowed to. I’m in the same boat as you, too experienced and too expensive for Houston.
HR can eat a bag of dicks. I once had a chick ask me why I was Sysco certified when I worked in IT. It took me a minute to realize she didn’t know the difference between Sysco and Cisco.
