Honestly, the point I'm getting at is that most HR people are incompetent boobs.
Tell me about it. I was looking to fill a position for a UX designer at my old company and our HR team came up empty and said that nobody was qualified. We had about 50 applicants.
I asked to see the resumes, all 50 of them, and handpicked the candidates myself based on the quality of their online portfolios.
Turns out HR was disqualifying applicants that didn’t meet ALL the criteria in the ATS and not even looking at the quality of the work done by the designers.
We spent 2 months trying to fill this job until I took matters into my own hands.
Don’t expect HR to bring you the best and brightest, because most of the time they are not willing to do to the legwork to find the best talent.
