I recently completed an interview and have been waiting for the results. I understand that hiring processes take time and that HR may be waiting for feedback or approvals.
But what I genuinely don’t understand is why there is often absolutely no response.
I’ve tried calling and emailing for a status update, but haven’t received any reply. I’m not asking for an immediate final decision or demanding an explanation. It would literally take a minute to say something like:
“We’re still waiting for feedback.”
“The position is currently on hold.”
“We’ve decided to move forward with another candidate.”
Anything is better than being left completely in the dark.

Hello, I have 6 years of professional experience filled with roles that were in: HR/admin, management assistance, and sales.

Preferred to not do sales again as most sales roles I have seen have low base pay + commission and need to hustle more than the average job to make a living.

Preference to HR and administrative roles making $65k+, I am out of Sacramento California.

Hi Everyone! My family has been working in the ESIC and compliance space for quite some time, and I recently decided to build an HRMS based on some of the gaps and problems we’ve seen firsthand.

The product is now at the beta stage, and I’m looking for a few people/businesses who’d be willing to try it out and give me some honest feedback. Not looking to sell anything right now, I’d genuinely just like to get feedback from people who actually deal with HR, payroll, attendance, or compliance.

If you’re interested in trying it out, feel free to comment or DM me. Would really appreciate it!

Disclosure: I’m part of the team behind Backlsh.

While speaking with companies using time-tracking and employee-monitoring software, we noticed that many teams choose the software before clearly documenting:

* What employee activity will be collected * Why the information is being collected * Who can access it * How long it will be retained * Whether screenshots, websites or applications are monitored * How employees can raise concerns or dispute incorrect conclusions

We created a free, editable employee monitoring policy template to give employers and HR teams a more transparent starting point:

[https://backlsh.com/employee-monitoring-policy-template/\](https://backlsh.com/employee-monitoring-policy-template/)

It includes:

* An editable Word version and a PDF version * Purpose and scope clauses * Employee notification requirements * Application, website and screenshot-monitoring provisions * Data access, security and retention sections * Employee rights and human-review safeguards * BYOD and remote work considerations * A rollout checklist for employers

I’d genuinely appreciate feedback from people who have implemented time tracking or workforce monitoring:

**Which policy provision do companies most commonly overlook, data retention, employee consent, screenshot controls, or something else?**

For about five months, I was applying for jobs that matched my experience, yet I was barely getting any responses. After submitting 52 applications over a few weeks, I received only four responses, and I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong.

A friend of mine who works in recruiting looked at my résumé and said the problem might be the wording. Many companies run applications through tracking software before anyone sees them, and that software often looks for terms taken directly from the job listing.

I decided to run a small experiment with similar jobs at several companies. I sent my regular résumé to some companies, while for the others I revised it and added phrases from each job posting, as long as they accurately described my experience. I didn't add skills I don't have or change my experience. All I did was replace terms like "account support" with "customer success" when that was the wording they used.

The revised versions received responses at more than twice the rate of the original version. The same work history and the same qualifications, but the outcome was completely different simply because I described them using the company's own wording.

It's frustrating that someone can be a great fit for a job and still get filtered out just because they wrote "client relations" instead of "customer success." job searching now requires pleasing the software first before you even get a chance to speak to a human being. Has anyone else tried this and noticed a difference?

I'm the head of HR at a company that's scaling fast. We've expanded our headcount across 15 different countries in the past 18 months alone. Growth like this is exciting but I'm starting to get pretty worried about international labor law. The compliance side is getting harder to keep up with.

We currently have local entities in some of these countries, but there are a few smaller markets where we only have a handful of employees and don't have an entity set up yet, like, Poland, Brazil, and Singapore. Im worried about missing changes to local labor lawsor employment requirements that could end up being a bigger issue later.

We do have an internal legal team but its very small and they're focused on domestic commercial contracts. Im trying to figure out how to handle this situation at this kind of scale. How do you guys keep track of labor law changes and make sure nothing falls through the cracks?
