I’ve been asked to update my same generic details for 10 different documents 😖

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi,
Lately, I have been applying for jobs through LinkedIn, Glassdoor, career pages, etc. But out of all, the most irritating or tedious is to apply directly on the company's career page!
99 out of 100 times, our resume gets rejected, but to get there, how many details they ask!
- Log in and verify the email
- Upload the resume
- Again, give personal details
- Again, rewrite education details
- Again, fill skill sets
- Rewrite the same skills and experience from the resume to their portal
- Tick marks! OMG
Have you worked before? Or are you part of the military? Are you having a disability? Are you part of XYZ org before, etc., etc.? The list is endless!!

I mean, why can't this be crisp with 1-page detail!? Min it takes 5-10 min to fill all these details and end up getting an email "unfortunately, we don't have the right opportunity for your candidature!"

I don't know, not many are speaking about this! 😐

Have anyone got pissed off with the company portal's job application process?

I applied for a job which used workday. I created an account, entered all my work info and it took nearly 21 minutes to complete everything. I clicked Submit. 

60 seconds later I receive the email saying "After careful consideration we regret......"

My only wish is that the product team that created workday should end up in hell and they should be asked to apply for jobs that use only Workday. I can't imagine a cruel torture than this.

Workday is the digital version of hell 😣

It should either be a resume upload or enter details. Why do I have to enter everything again? Does it make sense to anyone?

Why do we have to enter everything in the resume and upload the resume also along with the tons of details we just mentioned?

Onboarding as a process is a joke in many organisations

Corporate Strategist

Has any recruiter asked you to share PAN number before even scheduling interviews?
I recently got a call from Physics Wallah recruiter and after exchanging common information she demanded PAN number to which at first I refused then told her I’ll share over email. I said that so that I could check if she is not a scammer. I also asked her why it is necessary? To which she provided generic BS(to put into portal, big companies also ask this). Verified from truecaller and linkedin that she is indeed genuine. But anyways I didn’t feel comfortable to share a sensitive government ID before even having interviews. I told her my reasons and she rudely said they won’t be able to proceed further and I said no problem!

Request everyone to refrain from these practices otherwise this will become a norm. You don’t know in whose hand your ID will go and how and where they will store this info. Cut the BS and just say no.

PAN Card before interview.

Anyone recently joined infosys? Need to know about physical onboarding process.

Physical Onboarding Infosys

In an interview I cleared all my round and submitted all govt proof along with current company payslip etc as they demanded this. After one discussion they are saying we have got all your info they will think.
I mean which king of process is this? They wasted all my energy , 5 rounds .

HR wasted my time

Consultant

To all the companies who use Workday for hiring, as soon as I see a job link that redirects me to Workday - I close the tab, cuss a few words and move on. 

Nothing more painful in the world than trying to fill a candidature form on Workday

Workday sucks

Product Manager

Being part of software engineering fraternity, I always had this introspective phase where I would question the work / development I am presently doing whether it's interesting/innovative or a routine feature development. Few dilemmas and discourses are as follows 

1. I am building a product feature which basically requires me to copy paste most of my routine modules like creating similar entities in DB or creating the same services. It really feels mundane and a routine drill work. 

2. But let's question first point, do we really have no way to have the innovative spectre in routine work. This is where a proactive engineer has an opportunity to stand out. It totally depends how they bring in innovative sparkle. This contribution may be on any domain be it security, data handling, analytics or UI. 


3. So concluding remarks, it's just not the product and it's scale that makes the software engineering enticing but it's also the other way round where engineering can also play a leading role making the product interesting. 

Be the change you want to see

The candidate gets to download their offer letter on page 23. Right?

Right?

Candidates: We hate filling Workday forms. SaaS company: Hold my 23-pager Google Forms.

@flipkart new employees, can anyone confirm how much time will it take to complete the "Document Review"? I am done with my interviews and I have been asked to upload the documents. No. Response on it since a week. The status is still same

Channel Sales

In last 30 days or so three times I was in the situation where hiring people said I will send your offer letter by eod, which obviously didn’t happen. In fact the position is kept on hold or priorities are changed.
This is pretty frustrating as well as confusing. I’m not able to understand how these people decide things. 

Every time I was pushed to go through whole hiring process with multiple rounds of interviews as quickly as possible (within 10-15 days approx) and then suddenly nothing.

I’m not sure why these peoples are wasting theirs as well as others time. This just feels stupid.

How should I tackle this situation going forward?

Hiring is broken

Corporate catfishing? More companies are posting realistic job listings that don't exist. 

Companies doing this are trying to trick employees into thinking the company is growing and that they are hiring more workers to alleviate their workload. This is not only manipulative, but immoral. 

If you want to increase productivity and alleviate stress in your office, start by showing appreciation for your employees and encouraging them.

Share some companies you might know that have been doing this.
