This is during the three weeks the job posting is active. Our recruiter pointed out there was 1285 applications that the candidate had some kind of IT experience according to ATS.
Isn’t this technically “failing to hire an engineer”?

What’s the total cost of running this process end to end?

6 steps to receive an offer letter would make me decline as well.

3 rounds of interviews in addition to a phone screen is insane. I’d decline too.

Did you go back to the other 3rd round candidates for offers?

What is the reason for the decline? Pay?

Lol, $40k to rec 35 resumes?
I’ll be your recruiter.

Yeah 4 interviews is definitely a good way to kill any chance of hiring a good employee

Maybe have less rounds? Unless recruiter busywork is more important than filling the position
This is only “competitive” if the role is fully (and I mean fully) remote.

What’s this mystery ATS score? You declining people in some automated keyword process? Also why so many rounds of interviews, maybe they already found a different job in all that time?

It’s funny you’re quoting ziprecruiter as your comp basis. But you conveniently failed to leave out that Total Compensation is upwards of $213k. Unless you’re giving RSUs or a large cash bonus(would be economically silly to do this instead of stock), you aren’t even close to salary commensurate with the market. Good luck with your hiring!

Are they a Cloud Engineer because the one you hired is virtual?

As a recruiter, just based on this information, my feedback is you have too many interview steps.
The overwhelming majority of my clients are Telephone interview, in person interview, offer. Any more than that and you are losing candidates.

So all those 1250 was individually screened before rejection? Or was automatically rejected?
What about 35 recommendations, why only 15 was screened?
WillyMonty on
How did it feel being the one doing the rejecting for once?

When people say the job market is difficult, this is one of the reasons. Everyone tries to hire the diamond in the rough with low compensation and are surprised they don’t get anyone.

That’s not beautiful. That’s fucking horrifying.

The amount of people bitching about 3 rounds of interviews is insane. That’s a comfortable number of interviews for a lead engineer role. How the fuck do you know if you want to hire someone in a single interview + maybe a phone screen.

This is just unironically the funniest post I’ve seen in a while. OP is volunteering the information that they have terrible benefits and are underpaying and somehow it’s a shock no one wants this job lol. The lack of self awareness is absolutely insane

Chart is missing the huge number of people that did not apply because salary is too low

This is interesting. Remember it when companies tell you that no one wants to work anymore, they can’t find qualified people, and they need more H1-B visas.

Everyone take note of the fact that they just rejected everyone not recommended by a recruiter.

Ladies and gentlemen, a snapshot of why the job market is so fucked up.

lol, legit way too many interviews. I would have bounced after the phone screen when they said 3 interviews.

This ending in a declined offer is hilarious.
