    Oh no I’m serious replying to a meme

    Obviously this happens a lot but people get big mad at unions because they think this is happening and it isn’t necessarily.

    The job may be posted internally and externally at the same time. All internal candidates who apply must be assessed first and replied to in order of what union they belong to depending on the job. If can take a long time because people kind of just apply to everything the same way you do as an external candidate.

    Once they are all excluded then HR releases the external applicants for review. At no point are they compared with each other. Not all qualified candidates are contacted because there are probably dozens of them, so maybe the top 5 or so will be invited for the evaluation.

    It’s shitty that there are people who don’t have work, but I get grumpy when people yell NEPOTISM and other things. If we wanted to hire an internal candidate unethically we could and it wouldn’t get posted externally. If we knew there were wrong internal candidates and we were doing things by the book we would post internal only. No one wants to deal with HR to get things posted externally, I promise.

        Sure you could take a sentence in a reply explaining a very specific scenario and apply it to every situation, but that would be foolish and a waste of time.

        “Ghost jobs are actually not scams. They’re from real companies, but they are openings that don’t actually exist,”

          In other words they’re not employment scams whose goal is to get your money.

          They are ‘scams’ in the fact they’re not real jobs, they are essentially stealing your data under false pretenses, but because capital owns the western world, not people, media that likes not spending its entire revenue in court can’t legally call that a scam.
