"We really struggle to find people with this skil set"

So you're going to hire me, pay well, and not be full of shit, right?

Yeah, no 😂😂😂

Officespeak for "we need this but don't want to pay fair rates for it" 🥲

I really struggle to find people who'll pay as much as you'll do, so that's good 😁 We gonna be buddies 😁 Can't wait for the pizza party.

@rootshell yea I had one while tell me they were looking for someone with more experience. So the same excuse I was getting 7 years ago. What I was "we want your now skills for your then price"

@r.ded if only

best i can do is a frozen pizza friday once a year

I've heard a couple experts from both sides entertaining the idea that the reason recruitment is fucked is the same reason dating is fucked; the internet shows you a huge variety of options, but it isolates you such that you forget about all the other people being shown those same options. This completely breaks activities where success is hard to measure and so methodology is never developed, as participants have to purely rely on their thus-broken intuition for judgment.
