Zoominfo rejecting candidates based on not having Btech or BE

A friend of me, did his btech from one of the top and oldest iit, in core branch, average with tech skillset and profile. Howver, despite he not looking for a job right now, is still getting approached by recruiters. Whereas, my other friend, with great skillset and profile, is hardly getting noticed. The same is applicable to salary as well. Iitian gets more pay for same role and yoe. So yeah, college tag matters

Today I got a very interesting call from the HR. After passing one technical round with the hiring manager and the technical test, the HR told me that I am rejected because I am not from a tier 1 institute and my 1.5 years of FTE experience is not the same as compared to the students who WILL pass out this year from a tier 1 institute.

I was going through the careers portal of this decently funded startup and they had opening for SDE2 Backend and Frontend both. But the discrimination they did between FE and BE just got me to nerves. 1. The BE role was just termed as SDE2 whereas FE role was termed as SDE2 - Frontend Engineer, Why?🤷‍♂️ 2. Both the roles are of same level but the experience required for FE is 3years whereas for BE, its just 2years. A big Red flag about the culture 🚩 3. For BE role they haven't wrote anything language specific (which is a good thing as they're language agnostic and focusing on the core instead) But for FE they've filled their JD with languages, frameworks and even fcking libraries. All this together makes it a very risky bet for anyone looking for a SDE2 - Frontend Role. Passing this one and recommend everyone to look for such small red flags 🚩 which tells us alot about company. Thanks FE JD ⤵️, BE JD is in comments.

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.

Are you open to hire someone if the candidate is rejected in final rounds in some other interview by a big company?

Vai sach to hai ye ki hiring ka mazak bana rakha hai Skills gaya g marane Diversity hiring? Selected : Rejected CGPA > 8 ? Thodi bahut coding aati hai to aaja : apne skills startup me jakar dikha Tier 1 ? send OA link : baad me dekhta hu

Attended an interview for a startup where they said all was okay and agreed to rollout the offer letter and last minute told hiring freeze. This is for an entry level role. Cannot name the company as I can get identified. Fintech startup. Their payscales in glassdoor were showing high base for entry level roles in Business Operations. How do we make sure that recruiter does not ghost us . What are the strategies we can use to get the offer. These days, every recruiter in first call itself asking about salary expectations.

1. If your company is hiring, let us know if you can provide a referral or can help somehow. Be ready with a fake/temporary Email Id to accept applications/resume, or ask to DM. 2. If you know any other company hiring: Would be better if you could provide the link to the job or company or its career page. 3. If you know a stealth or very small startup hiring right now, do share someone's LinkedIn/Twitter profile whom we can reach out. 4. If you have recently interviewed at a company, try to share a bit about their expectations and interview experience. Wherever possible, try to mention the tech stack and years of experience expected. Happy Hunting/Helping 😃

"Don't judge anyone by years of experience. Judge them by their skills." Okay, but recruiters will judge them by gender as well. Aur aapne to dono bhi (i don't consider LGTV) mention kiye hai. And what is this new trend of ~gaslighting?
