HR Auto-Rejection Blackpill

Auto rejection systems from HR make me angry. I'm a tech lead and for 3 months HR wasn't able to find a single person for the position we're looking. 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. HR didn't even look at my CV. I took this up to management and they fired half of the HR department in the following weeks, the issue was they were looking for an angularjs developer while we were looking for an Angular one (different frameworks, similar names), this kind of silly mistakes must and can be fixed in minutes, and since the CVs were auto rejecting profiles without angularjs in it we literally lost all possible candidates. The truly infuriating part was that I consistently talked to them asking for progress and they always told me that they had some candidates that didn't pass the first screening processes (which was false). People who work in HR are incredibly mediocre and lazy.

A Reddit-style text post describes a tech lead discovering that HR’s automated screening rejected every candidate because recruiters searched for AngularJS instead of Angular. The punchline is the absurd incompetence of the hiring process, which filtered out all qualified applicants and then falsely claimed candidates had failed screening. It is shared as a reaction to bad HR, automated recruitment, and corporate incompetence.
