The Few Dot Coms That Are Hiring
from the deluged-by-resumes dept
I have a few friends who work in HR at various technology startups in Silicon Valley. They all hate Google. It seems that everyone they interview really wants to work at Google - and if Google wants them, that's where they go. It seems that Google is one of the few internet companies still hiring, and they're paying the price for it: over 600 resumes come in a day (the company currently employs 300 people). Many applicants aren't even remotely qualified, but that doesn't stop them from trying. The article also mentions PayPal and eBay as other local companies that get way too many resumes - all dealt with by an overworked HR staff.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
