Best HRs exist only in your imagination and Linkedin not in reality- Grapevine

Hi, I am a 21yr old interested in Talent Acquisition as a career path but I am also interested in making a lot of money (50LPA+) as I progress in the field. 

I’ve done my research using Glassdoor & Levels.fyi but I want to hear from real people on whether such a salary is possible in Talent Acquisition specifically at Director or Sr. Manager Level? (so like 10-15 years down the line for me). I know HRBP pays more but I can’t be arsed to plan parties (employee engagement) or keep attendance trackers (performance review), I enjoy matching talented people with the right companies more.

Salary for Talent Acquisition Senior positions

Ghosting by HR is becoming increasingly common. This is not only for junior or middle level roles but also senior level. Talk to a prospective candidate and go to sleep. One more round and then go missing again. Repeat the process till the person starts to question the culture. And ya, when you wake up, expect the candidate to leave everything and respond..else, you will go ahead and open the position. 

Anyone else facing this in startups?

Do you think HR roles have become a little toxic at the workplace in India. If you consider the HR policies and work culture abroad they are more employee centric. It's somewhere in the DNA of the HRs, I believe. Is the process of becoming an HR makes you like this or is it the work culture? I'm making this comment in general, some MNCs might be exceptions.

Why are HR not actually Human Resources in India?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I have been looking for an Android Engineer for about 1.5 months and i applied on LinkedIn and company website but they don't reply.

But if I apply to naukari.com in the same company then the middle man as a consultant will call you and help you schedule interviews.

Regarding that i have a question:

What is the purpose of Posting jobs on career page and in linkedin if HR's are hiring from naikari.com with the help of consultants.

Can anybody please help me get the job and please share your views on this.

Plus i am also looking for a freelance Android development work also not getting any result.

I will highly appreciate it.

🙏🏻Please share your thoughts.

I finally got a job offer after being jobless for around 7-8 months now. But the company is offering me the same CTC I was previously drawing. Reasons they sighted were that I've been jobless for a long period now. Is this normal?
The company is good. Has a good set of customers. Has raised good funding recently. Team seems to be good as well. But its the CTC that I'm unsure about.

What to do ?! 

P.S. my prev CTC was also entry level pay, say 40k in hand on avg after all deductions.

Jobless: Now getting same CTC as 8 months ago.

Welcome to NEW LinkedIn, where professionals go to get distracted
- Because nothing says "professional networking" like knowing that out of my 30K connections, 48 have played Queens in the last hour. Exactly the vital information I needed today. And it's so comforting to know my boss not only sucks at setting my KPIs but also sucks at LUDO (oh wait.. they dont have LUDO, but you get the point). Say Yes to LinkedIn Games : because what better way to showcase your professional skills than competing in virtual board games. Maybe next we’ll have a LinkedIn Queens Champion title to boost your profile visibility and job hunt next?
- AI Post Ideas – Original thoughts? Nah, let the algorithm tell me what to think. Can’t wait for the ‘Inspirational Monday Motivation’ template. Because originality is overrated, right?
- LinkedIn Shorts – because TikTok isn’t enough. Now I can document getting laid off in 30-second clips. ‘Watch me scream at my boss in high definition!’ And the best part? When the boss yells at an employee, we can record that too! Coming soon: "Live from the pantry" and "Breakout room drama" LiEmploymentTV is the new reality TV 

What are the new features in pipe: Kundli and Tarot? 
- LinkedIn Horoscopes: Today’s forecast: Your connection requests will be ignored. Better luck tomorrow!
- LinkedIn Tarot Readings: The cards say stop pretending to enjoy team-building exercises
- LinkedIn Karaoke: Here's a hip hop base track to sing your resignation letter
- LinkedIn Pet Profiles: Cause your cat deserves a professional network too
- LinkedIn Cooking Shows: Cause you are more than your current role
- LinkedIn Meditation Sessions: Your mind needs it own Calm
- LinkedIn Matchmaking: We solved for the jobs, now lets help you find love with someone equally networked

Meta shutting down workplace really dint teach you anything???
To the PMs at LinkedIn – Thanks for teaching us - What not to do when and how.

Remember when LinkedIn was the place to get work done?

LinkedIn is not the same what it was an year ago, these days it's mostly filled with useless crap and so called influencers sharing their fake interview experiences just to sponsor someone who paid good amount of money

Human Resource

A lot of folks working at startups seem to be "passionate " about their job. Some of them possibly, truly are. Some foolishly reverse engineer this passion because they're paid really well and they've been doing a good job and it's good personal PR to say "passion".  A few reality checks.

1. Your cool Bangalore lifestyle is a result of investment risks/bets taken by VC's .

2. Your salary is as much about the market demand as it is about your " passion " and talent.

3. Startups will generally lower the bar for hiring processes to meet their demand for talent. Why need so much talent? Because the startup  needs to spend that 100M$ Series C that just made them a unicorn. That's how they convince the VC to give more money. "We are going to 2x revenue by 2xing our salesforce and buying 10M$ worth of Saas that will increase our productivity by 5x. " And boom ...100M$ transferred into you SVB bank account.

4. You are as replaceable as a garbage bag on your dustbin. The HR is probably flirting with 10 other like you over linkedin.


5. The "values" this startup apparently espouses are mostly nothing but a honey trap and positioning to lure talent.

It's great to have a nice tech job that pays well and allows you to gloat on twitter like a techbro but don't let it fool you into getting an inflated sense of entitlement. You're probably living on borrowed time....and money. :)

Need answer to just one thing. 

Do you guys intentionally ghost candidates or do you guys intentionally ghost candidates? 🙂

Dear HRs - Answer Me.

Profession dominated by women - typical passive agressive behaviour. Avoidance

Founder

The stupidity and arrogance of some leaders in some companies to use colleges as filter criteria for what is clearly irrelevant for the role. 

Mostly these idiots end up fucking up company after company creating these neo-casteist groups sucking off and living off each other.

This identity based hiring is the start of corporate politics. I still don’t understand how difficult it is for fucking idiots to understand that while hiring for most roles you have to encourage diverse backgrounds at the start of the process to help you hire the right candidate for the long term, specially in a startup. 

PS I’m not against preferring candidates from certain colleges if it’s relevant. What i do hate is this herd behaviour of trying to hire only from your alumni the moment you are given leadership roles.

It must be such shitty experience to work under idiots like these if you are not from their alumni colleges because their biases play into all evaluations they do about their teams.

This is pretty common, has been like that for ages. It’s their company and their rules. You also have the freedom to NOT apply. Maybe they have had better experiences with candidates from top tier universities. Remember getting into most tier 1 colleges is itself difficult and only top talent make it. Also get better academic infrastructure, exposure to alumni networks, etc. So there are high chances they will do well. 
  
 Doesn’t mean that candidates from non-tier1 universities can’t excel. Some can be equally good or even better. Maybe these guys don’t want to take a chance with this role.
