In this episode, Sam and Lex discuss some ridiculous, unbelievable, and nightmare-ish recent recruitment finds from across the web. Some highlights include: a Reddit post asking if submitting fake resumes is a valid strategy, stories about the worst job interview questions candidates have encountered, and hidden tasks in job descriptions.
This is a quick and silly conversation that's bound to make you either laugh or shake your head — but more than anything, it serves as a reminder of the fact that empathy and communication are key during the hiring process, for the sake of both recruiters and candidates.
