28 Fails By Employers Who Make Recruiting A Living Hell

Add as a preferred source on Google

Recruiting people for a job can be hell but the description can make or break you. I always found part-time jobs to be the worst because the requirements were so unrealistic for something that pays minimum wage.

My last “real job” was delivering pizza for Pizza Hut and my boss was 19 years old. I didn’t hate the job but the idea that I should have a passion for it was a bit much. We all know why we’re working here. Let’s stop pretending I want to deliver pizza for the rest of my life.

Seeing major fails like these shared in Recruiting Hell would actually make me more comfortable applying because now I know I’m not the biggest idiot that works there.
