7 days agoNot defending the recruiters for not reading resumes, but I’ve seen the recruiting queue and it sucks.
Way more than half the applications are fake, from out of the country (for jobs that require you to work physically at the location), or just clearly entered for unemployment requirements. Across dozens of applications on each of the dozens of open positions each week.
State/federal requirements mean the jobs have to be posted to a bunch of equal opportunity job boards that never produce real candidates.
There’s a reason recruiters are feeding all their shit through AI. It became an AI slop fight for both sides of the job application process.
I don’t work in recruiting at all. I don’t read resumes.
Office vs labor in my industry is weighted towards labor making more money.
Non-union on government contracts requires prevailing wage pay at union agreed rates. A laborer (basic unskilled labor) can make $45/hour with fringe benefits at $25/hour. They make OT on top of that which the salaried office employees don’t.
Not every industry pays their workers garbage.
