Nothired.com, an inside look at HR

Ever wonder what happened to your resume? Why you never heard back from the recruiter who said they would call? Can’t understand why bloggers like me bang on HR people so much? Well, wonder no longer. You can now go inside the mind of HR via nothired.com. Hatched by a group of HR ‘gurus’ gathered in a San Francisco bar, this new blog claims to be ‘Dedicated to all those who wonder why no one has called to set up an interview…now you know’.

I don’t know about that, from what I’ve gathered so far it looks more like a bunch of bottom rung HR types taking pot shots at those they feel are lower than they, which should be a small group. Don’t get me wrong, I love snarky humor, perhaps more than most, but this type of behavior is best saved for the breakroom or the bar at happy hour. Taking it public just appears mean. HR has enough problems without having to resort to this sort of behavior. How would you feel if your less than perfect resume/interview ended up in public? Just not cool.

Until next time…
