>> *I’ll assume that there are 1 or 2 HR-types out there that are competent, but the remaining 99.999999999999998% are worthless.
That’s been my experience, too. However, usually they’re worthless not because they do too draconian a job of vetting potential hires, but because they *don’t* vet potential hires thoroughly enough. They’re too busy making sure that the company is scrubbed clean of un-PC goings-on, and hiring “consultants” to “train” everyone in worthless business fad garbage.
“...and hiring “consultants” to “train” everyone in worthless business fad garbage.”
LOL!!! Oh God, YES!!! What a collosal waste of time and money!!!
HR is the weakest link, by far. Just terrible.
