I spoke with a recruiter I kinda knew once about this and his answer was basically "we don't want anyone who isn't willing to jump through the hoops we ask them to." It's literally just to weed out people they think are "too lazy" to do it.

It's funny though, because he was asking me to apply to the company he was recruiting for when he told me this, and I laughed and said well, I don't want to work for any companies who are willing to waste my time. I didn't apply. I'm happy with the job I easy applied for instead.

"Our ideal candidate is one who has as little respect for their time as we do."

this is toxic relationship advice bs

what next? they flirt with other candidates in front of you to see if you get jealous and fight for them?

This, but unironically. My current company lined up three different candidates for a job I needed them to fill, fully knowing that the guy I advised they hire was the only remotely competent pick. They just had to do a show of sizing up other contenders so they could report to their higher ups that "We looked at three people and this one was the best".

when do they do the fake break-up to see how much the candidate comes running back?

[-] zifnab25@hexbear.net 22 points 11 months ago

Salary negotiations, typically.

If they want someone who doesn’t care about wasting time, I’ll be glad to do so as much as possible very-smart
