First impressions are really important during the hiring process, both for the prospective employer and the candidate.

To attract the best talent, companies need to craft quality job adverts. They should be clear about what it is they’re looking for and accurately reflect the role’s typical duties and responsibilities.

However, for better or worse, the bar sometimes doesn’t seem so high. We dug around the subreddits ‘Recruiting Hell‘ and ‘Antiwork‘ to show you that some recruiters are so out of touch with reality, it’s evident even in the job advertisement they write.

Scrolling through these makes you seriously doubt the “no one wants to work anymore” cliché.

#47 Got This Message From A Company’s Recruiter Today

Received this from a recruiter today. Applied from their Facebook page where at no point did it mention that the position was in- office. For context, my family and I live and travel full- time in our RV, and I have worked remotely off and on for more than 3 years now, with nearly 10 years experience for the above mention position. Forward to the HR or above that even?
