I heard a guy who worked in HR that when there's a hot job

I work in a kitchen and use the executive chefs computer a lot. I see the emails he opens and doesn't open. It's pretty random. Most cvs are unopened emails with very few read.

Individual HR employees have a crazy amount of autonomy so there's a very good chance he did do that. One told me that she just threw out all the ones that didn't have master degrees regardless of the position as long as there was one applying.

further proof that HR are scum and of no real use to a company

Did this HR woman have a master degree herself? It's rhetoric; if she had, she wouldn't be in HR.

I get tonnes and tonnes of "friend requests" and "personal messages" on LinkedIn from these fuckers. Sometimes I play them, but usually remove and block.

HR is the spam of the 2010s.

I heard about a guy that would take half of the stack of resumes and throw them straight into the trash.

Then he'd say, "We don't hire unlucky people."

Makes sense, I wouldn't want to have someone's lack of luck looming over my career.

If I ever got at a manager level in a company, HR would be the first to go, and I'd give their offices to the interns and cleaning staff.

Haha, that's a good one. I'd hate if it happened to me though.

HR(recruiting) absolves management from the liabilities of hiring. So while it's of no benefit to the company itself, it benefits the people running the company. And that is why it exists.

That's an important lesson to learn.
