Did it actually take that long to hire a junior system admin because all young people suck and are unqualified or because the resume procurement and hiring process is gated behind unqualified, unnecessary recruiter and HR representatives who get to choose who to send to the actual hiring managers and teams?

HINT: Its option 2

DOUBLE HINT: This is a major problem right now and is why even the senior devs here have an impossible time even getting an interview

Unfortunately for us interviewing we'll never know. At least at big companies like mine. All I know is the quality I'm seeing is super low.

No, you do know. What I was mildly lampooning is 100% how it has worked for... 10+ years.

And now it's being exacerbated by AI and outsourced recruiters and HR reps who are invested in only showing outsourced "talent" and being encouraged to do so.

Sorry I mean yes we "know", but HR will never admit that.

The closest I got was a few years ago some bozo from HR said we had to hire 50% DEI hires. I wish that was a joke
