HR rant: "You are too stupid to get a job, even in banking"

[The Larch]

I guess that this will reinforce the general views on HR people. 

£200,000 exec axed after telling jobseeker: **** off
Email rant sent to 4,000 people

A RECRUITMENT executive was looking for fresh work himself last night after he emailed "f*** off" to a job hopeful — and it went out to 4,000 people.

Bungling Gary Chaplin was axed from his £200,000-a-year post at a top headhunting firm after his expletive-riddled reply turned him into an industry laughing stock.

In it he let rip at sender Manos Katsampoukas for simultaneously emailing recruitment firms with a polite note and a CV in his search for a finance or marketing job.

The reply — in which Mr Chaplin said he spoke for "all 4,000 people you have emailed" — declared: "Please f*** off — you are too stupid to get a job, even in banking."

He ended it: "Yours hitting the delete button Have a nice day!" The message dropped into the computer inboxes of the SAME 4,000 people Manos had emailed in the first place.

He's too stupid to get a job, even in IT.

The hands of fate?

E-mail received from people who accidentally click "Reply All" can be quite delightful.

The rant seems partly aimed at this McCarthy fellow, I assume for giving the job-seeker the list of 4000 to email to.

Recruiters at recruiting firms are not HR people, I would think.  They're agents.

Yep.

Most recruiters are dicks. i've met some nice ones though.

Salespeople is more like it.

[MadImmortalMan]

Dude sent a form letter to 4000 people. I bet he also got a lot of nasty responses from the ones who didn't reply all, and thus didn't make the news.

Today I added a recruiter from one of the local firms to the CAL'S ENEMIES OF THE REVOLUTION LIST.

Dumb bitch lied to me twice in one email.  I guess she didn't realize that the very same questions I would be asking her I was going to turn around and ask the candidate she had me interview.


LIE #1

CAL:  "Does this candidate have any actual DBA skills?  I don't see any on his resume."
LYING RECRUITER:  "Yes!  He's never been a DBA per se, but he has the skills."

...

CAL:  "So talk to me about your DBA skills."
CANDIDATE:  "Oh, I've never been a DBA... I don't have any DBA experience at all, really."

LIE # 2

CAL:  "This guy's current employer... is this a bricks-and-mortar company or is he self employed dba as this 'company'?  I've never heard of this company."
LYING RECRUITER:  "No, it's a company, based out of South Carolina."

...

CAL:  "So your company is based out of South Carolina?"
CANDIDATE:  "What?  No, I'm self-employed. [Company name] is just what I call myself to potential clients."

End result was an hour of my time was wasted, an hour of the candidate's time was wasted, and the candidate was extremely embarassed and I felt bad for him.  The DBA thing I can excuse because she's probably too stupid to know what a DBA even is, but the company thing is total bullshit, because I told her "I want a guy who has been working for a company, not a contractor who is used to setting his own hours, because a guy like that probably won't fit in here"  I need a Mono, not a Monkeybutt.

Of course, he sounds like an idiot. I'd just start lying.
