HR Team Fired After Manager's Own Resume Gets Auto-Rejected In Seconds
A shocking discovery led to the termination of an entire HR team after a manager uncovered a critical error in the company's applicant tracking system (ATS). The system, designed to streamline hiring, was automatically rejecting all job candidates, including the manager's test application. Sharing his experience on Reddit, the manager revealed that the HR department had struggled to find suitable candidates for three months, unaware of the systemic issue.
He then decided to conduct an investigation.
He created a pseudonym, submitted his resume, and was shocked when it was automatically rejected within seconds 😂.
He wrote on Reddit, "I've created myself a new email and sent them a modified version of my CV with a fake name to see what was going on with the process and guess, I got auto rejected." Despite his impressive qualifications, he was instantly rejected without any human oversight. "I got auto-rejected. HR didn't even look at my CV," he shared.

How could the HR team fail to notice that no candidates were being selected for interviews for three months?

The ATS was clearly malfunctioning, but it's unclear if the HR team was responsible for maintaining and troubleshooting the system. If so, they may have failed to identify and address the issue.

Disappointing Interview Experience with D.E. Shaw
I recently interviewed with D.E. Shaw, and it turned out to be one of the most draining experiences I’ve had. The interviewer’s approach felt unnecessarily harsh and dismissive, which made the entire process uncomfortable. At multiple points, the interviewer asked me to drop off the call, even when I tried asking basic questions about the designation, job description, and other details. After the interview, I found myself sitting there for a few minutes, trying to process what just happened. It...
