TLDR – Ridiculous Requirements for a job
I work as a recruiter. I spend my day reaching out to people about jobs and submitting them to get interviewed and hopefully hired. Sometimes it’s people who apply, most of the time I’m reaching out to a pool of candidates.
I got assigned a job recently and I just could not believe what they were asking. It was for specific technical field, a few months contract with possible ongoing, pay was average, and all submittals had to have gone to or were going to one of two universities for that specific field.
You are already limiting yourself by what you need filled but now you want to reduce the possible candidates even further by filtering which colleges that they went to!?! And even further by only taking submittals from one type of degree path??? It’s not a job that I would consider entry level but someone with decent experience in that field or related could have fulfilled the role.
People say that no wants to work any more or the candidates are qualified enough. Maybe don’t ask for the moon and back and only give next to nothing in return.
