This hit my inbox today. Why do they do this? This is why people dont apply to these jobs.

Have yall seen any good ones?

Why do they do this?

The problem is almost universally that the job rec is written by someone who actually knows what skills they need, then hand it off to a manager who tweaks it, who then hands it off to HR who makes further changes, who then hands it off to some third party that doesn't give a shit that is responsible for throwing it up onto listing sites and has neither the desire nor the motivation to check to see if any of it is accurate, let alone consistent.

It's like a game of telephone, only the person at the one end doesn't get what they actually need and the job applicants on the other end have no idea what they're actually applying for.

I like the ones that are advertised as remote jobs and then the description says you have to be in an office for most of the week.

This makes sense. I have my filters for full-time only. And because of that, this job would never have come across my feed. So they add tags that get the most engagement to bypass filters, and put what the job really is in the description.
