There’s nothing jerky about it. A hirer needs to know what they’re looking for and who fits the bill. Many are the resumes I’ve seen where I said “if only we were planning on paying this position 10 to 20 grand more”. They were great candidates for a 2 or 3 position, but we were hiring a 1, you can’t go putting a guy with 15 years of experience in a 1 position at 1 pay, you won’t keep them. Nothing meat brain about it, the meat brain is being in a position where you’re automatically the enemy of the people you want to hire you. Which is probably why you wind up dealing with HR a lot from the other side of the desk. 99% of my dealings with HR the last 20 years I’m on their side of the desk as we’re deciding who to hire.
Most despised people in America:
Don't worry I've learned how to deal with Nazi HR. Not a problem for me anymore. I should write a book about the pin headed mind set of the people how do the hiring in America. I've studied your breed, a disgusting lot.
Listen, it isn't just external, as an engineer of 30 years most of us despise you people. Your low balling tactics yield crappy co workers. Then if you can't get the right price you H1-b us with somebody that has the english skills of a 3 year old.
