Were I still hiring folks, I wouldn’t overlook them, I’d burn them. But then, I needed really good STEM types - ones that used real math, not “woke” math. Folks that got correct answers.
One yearHR gave me a stack of really good summer intern candidates. Several would have completed BSEE and enrolled in grad school, others were incoming seniors. I’d started making calls when HR guy left an urgent voicemail saying he’d given me the wrong list. I ignored it and made an offer to a really good candidate who accepted.
Of course he’d mistakenly given me the resumes he had pre-screened and rejected because of what was then known as “low EEO points” back then. My boss backed me up and the HR guy had to honor the offer I’d made. Only year the internship program wasn’t just a productivity-sucking babysitting exercise.
