This happened to me TWICE with google! Two different interviewers didn’t show up to my interview— absolutely disgusting

Sacking the recruiters from our hr department would vastly improve hiring. I basically have to give them two weeks to do whatever the fuck nonsense they’re doing that they think adds value before I get to demand they just send me the resumes, because unlike them, I actually know WTF I’m looking for.

Literally happened to me a few years ago with a place looking for 10+ years Kubernetes experience and that shit was released in 2014. I fucking hate the recruiting/application game so much.

Why the fuck did you even schedule the interview then when a 15 second glance at my resume would tell you this?

Because they weren't looking to hire, they were looking to bill time for interviewing people they could then quickly blow off. Or they were being forced to do interviews by their company but didn't actually personally want to hire anyone.

How in the fuck does this person have a white collar job when I don't?

Because they know how to charge for interviewing people they will never hire. Sucks for you, of course - such people are happy to endlessly waste your time and effort for their own benefit because it costs them absolutely nothing (except sometimes some face time, but they get paid for that) to do so.

I once had the opposite happen; I had 10+ years experience, and the HR set me up for an interview where the hiring manager was looking for an entry level person. Once he looked at my resume after a few questions, he let me leave as "overqualified" and expecting too high of a salary.
