Wouldn't we have no prime ministers?
'We need someone to become PM'
'Who has done it before?'
'Errr no one, it's a new role'
'****'
Once had to help a lady who quite literally earns double what I do, who's job specs state 'advanced Excel skills' and is in a fairly technical role, cut and paste columns in Excel.The one that I'm loving at the moment is getting someone on board who has responded to the key selection criteria that they are "advanced in all aspects of Microsoft Office" and then after they've started they need help setting up a meeting in Outlook, putting hyperlinks into text, converting something to a PDF, or doing anything in PowerPoint or Excel.
I'm seriously at a loss as to what some people think "advanced MS Office skills" means. They know how to make some text bold in Word?
Does anyone know why HR recruiters spend a lot of time messaging you on LinkedIn offering you a horizontal move to a similar position rather than offering a vertical move up the ladder? Why would I be interested in moving to exactly the same role at a different company?
Most recruiters are independent contractors who get paid for every role they fill. They rarely work for any business in particular. They message dozens of people out of the blue hoping to find someone bitter about where they are and looking to jump ship.Does anyone know why HR recruiters spend a lot of time messaging you on LinkedIn offering you a horizontal move to a similar position rather than offering a vertical move up the ladder?

'Hey are you still with XYZ?'
'Yep'
'Are you staff or contract?'
'Staff'
'Looking to move?'
'Not really'
'OK, would you like to hear about other opportunities?'
'Sure'
'Well this 3 month contract for $10/hr less than your permanent rate has come up...'
'No thanks, not interested'
'Do you know anyone who is? Can you pass their details onto me?'
**** off.
Nah, they don't put that much effort into who they're calling to work out what makes them tick. If they call 100 people, they'll eventually find someone jaded enough to leave for any deal, better or worse, and then they get paid.Nailed it, surely you'd have more success trying to woo people who are interested in a position instead of trying to lure someone to a lower or equally paid role.

There are 2 great episodes of Utopia where the HR is involved - one of them only a week or so ago.
I cant spot the latest one though..
You soon realise that (internal) HR is not there to help, or improve people, but to control a process. And not always doing that well.

HR who faff around without any knowledge or understanding of IR/ER laws are all too common
