HR: Hi we got your application. We'd like to schedule a call. Can you fill this out to pick a time?

Me: Sure, sorry first I'd like to ask a question. You are based on the other side of the country and i'm not able to relocate. Are you open to remote workers? Your job spec didn't mention either way.

HR: GREAT question! At this moment no we are not. We need people here on site. If you'd like, we can have a call to discuss if you fill out the form.

Me: ..... take time out of my day so you can tell me "No" again? ..... i'm alright thanks

    They needed you to fill out the form to show they found a lead most likely. Gotta boost those numbers to show worth

    Yeah, they don't care that it isn't a fit. They only care that you're a warm body to show they're being productive.

    Yeah, it seems at some point in time “recruitment” became synonymous with “spam”. They no longer seek to actually find a perfect candidate for the job, but to bring on as many as possible, no matter if they fit the position or not.

    @Plasticnova I feel offended by your comment I will report this incident to the higher council.

    They will organize meeting and discuss how to proceed with your inappropriate behavior.

    I'm involved in recruiting people for my teams, and once had a recruitment agent say "if we throw enough at it, eventually something will stick". That was the last time I spoke to him, as I realised I was doing his job of filtering out candidates that clearly weren't right for the role

    Did you ask them if they would be able to relocate if you where matching what they're searching for?

    @MeadCoder I didn't ask because I don't want to relocate. Just settled down

    @practiseSafeHex No, not you, them. @MeadCoder says if you asked them if THEY would be open to relocate to where you are. 😂
