  • when I was interviewing people, sure I was getting paid to do that in the sense that I was being paid hourly. but I had other shit to do, and all of the interviewing was overtime, of which I was already doing plenty.

    I certainly didn’t have the power to change the fact that we have way too many applicants to sort through. I’m just a dude at a small company who rose just high enough to have to deal with this. I think I did a pretty good job with the interview process and respecting candidates, but the other user’s point about shitty candidates taking spots away from others is valid. I’ve definitely been through a good handful of interviews that were a complete waste of time where the candidate clearly did not give a fuck, and I went out of my way to treat them respectfully and give them a chance when what I should have actually done was just end the call once it was clear they didn’t care. because of those shitty applicants, I had less time for other applicants.
