/biz/ - Business & Finance

We've been working shorthanded for months now, when are you gonna let us hire someone?

>>294223
How big is the company you work for and how often do you guys check to see if an applicant really has the degree they claim they do or went to the school they said they did?

>>294227
Whenever your wife gives my dick a break.

>>294228
It's a fairly large tech company, I'll leave it at that.

Our main focus is our engineering sector, hiring electrical and computer engineers. Due to privacy reasons, I can't just call up a university and see if someone actually graduated, but I can ask for a copy of their transcript.

>>294234
> but I can ask for a copy of their transcript
Do you in most cases? Or sometimes? I know technically you should, but do you actually commonly check?

>HR turned down a perfect applicant for an opening in our department because they wouldn't match her hourly rate at her current job, which is 45 cents higher than what we're offering
You guys are assholes, I hope you burn

>>294223

How do you get the smell of dicks out of your whore mouth faggot?

>>294241
Most of the time, yes.

There were a couple of guys who I actually went to college with that applied in the past who I didn't check. One still works here as an engineer to this day.

>>294253
This sounds a lot like 99% faggotry. It's basic supply and demand. I don't set rates, that's up to the discretion of the employer. Secondly, I only hire people I feel will be an asset to the business. A new employer is an investment. If you knew anything about investing, you'd know that breaking outside of your affordability window on something that isn't likely to bring in a positive return is just a bad idea.

Either way, blame all of your problems on the HR department, I don't care. Instead you could be out there getting skills, qualifications, licenses, etc. to beef up your resume.

>>294255
What's a whore mouth faggot and why am I worried about it smelling like dicks? Shouldn't I expect something with such a name to smell like dicks anyway?

Or are you looking for advice on how to do your own laundry?

>>294223
>an HR manager
>an HR
>an
Are you fucking serious? H is a consonant. Learn to fucking speak English you barbarian.
Would you say "an W manager"?
FUCK.

>>294263
>whats a whore mouth faggot

you, you are a faggot with a whore mouth.

and your profession is a waste and a joke. go kill yourself or find a nice husband that has a real job.

>This sounds a lot like 99% faggotry.

This applicant came glowingly recommended by two of our employees who do part-time work at the applicant's current job. In the meantime, there are no other qualified applicants, we're blowing through OT like mad to cover the staffing shortfall, and now the entire department knows HR is a bunch of cheapskates, all over what amounts to less than $1000 year.

But do please go on about "investments" and "affordability"

>>294277
H is pronounced "Aych" it has the vowel sound at the begining, so we "an"

>>294277

The rule is based on sound, not the actual letter. In this case, the sound is "aye-ch"...which is vowel.

rf. "an honor"

>>294277

In that case of abbreviations, the article you use is determined by the sound of the first letter, you dimwit.

Have you ever taken an English class in your life?

>>294277
lolwut im a native english speaker and there is nothing wrong with that

>>294277
Are you being serious right now?

>>294283
I'm sorry you didn't get that job you wanted. It's all my fault.

>>294288
We're given guidelines by the heads of the company. If it can't be, it just can't be, even if it amounts to less than $1k a year. I'd personally hire them in that situation, but then again I'm given lots of leeway in that situation. I was just trying to be empathetic and see it from both sides. Sometimes when it comes to business, every last cent of investment counts.

>On this board
Yeah you're not fooling anyone.

>>294337

There were so many posts in a short amount of time because your post was so fucking retarded.

People are going to point that shit out.

>>294337
>say something really retarded
>get called out on it by several people
>"IT'S A CONSPIRACY!"

Just piss off, all of you.

>>294223
Do you have a bunch of SJW women in your HR who know nothing about the jobs or fields the applicants are applying for and ask inane questions like whats your favorite color and if you could be any animal what would it be?

>>294303

Lulz

>I fired our HR Manager for being worthless

its good to have full control of the P&L,

good luck being a shit stain who thinks the business revolves around you.

>>294325
>this board has ID's anon

I thought you were just trolling the HRfag but now starting to wonder

>>294352
Nah. Our HR department is fairly small, only 4 guys deep, and we're all white guys in our late 20s/early 30s.

I'm a manager, then I have my co-manager. Working for us there are two operations/HR analysts who help us out and deal with our spreadsheets and peoplesoft junk.

As far as not knowing about the field itself, we have our own jobs to do. The interview process doesn't stop with us. They sit with the project managers who interview them on specific job related things, we're just here to sift through resumes and get them into the screening process. In the HR and operations department, we deal with making schedules, people calling in sick/unable to come to work, payroll, overtime, internships, organizing training & coaching sessions, and things falling under that category. We deal with manning levels and have our own specific role with the company.

>>294357
>good luck being a shit stain who thinks the business revolves around you.

Haha, except I never said that, and this adolescent enmity you have leading you to make such accusations of character with zero basis only shows you're a manchild who got denied a job due to being an autist in an interview.

>>294383

wrong again anon, but wordsmithed to the poor standard of an HR faggot.

I'm the guy whose office you go into saying "please pay for my SHRM membership" and I say sure but actually make use of it this year

>anyway got to run, best of luck HR. Maybe one day you will get into ops and enjoy the good life….. I hope so, for your sake.

>>294223
May I, a self-centered NEET, apply? :3
I live in Dallas, TX

>>294799
I think you know what will happen to your resume.

>>294762

>tfw one of the orbiters has no cock

>>294804
what jobs do you have available?
joking aside, I have a pretty neat resume (for a self-entitled NEET)

I'm 22 years old and I've spent the last two years playing poker exclusively to pay for my university education. Thus, I'll be graduating at 24 years old (debt free, though).

My school is a state university. My degree is in Economics (considering Managerial Economics so I can learn accounting and business too) I want to go far in life, in finance. I'm afraid no one will even look at my application though because of this.

I'm a smart guy, I'm driven, I know how to be valuable to someone and value is everything to me. But how am I going to get someone to look at my application? What can I do to set myself apart from the droves of other applicants from better schools with the same qualifications?

Hey OP, if you're still awake, what type of person do you think generally aims for HR and actually becomes an HR manager?
What type of skills do you need to be succesful here?
What's you current wage? Is that above or below the average?
I'm interested in doing HR as well, but I heard that it's pretty tight to get in (women usually do it) and there's not really room for promotion.
Is that true?

>>294826

Econ grad here, I was into poker but got fucked by black Friday.

You can try to put it in a resume. Focisu on the accomplishment of funding your education with it. You made money at this: it wasn't easy, you had to be smart and disciplined.

It will be hit or miss, but I think it is +ev to do so.

>>294901

Also at 22 you have time to get internships. Get on that hard if you want to get into finance ( and keep your mind open, finance might not be right and you have time to find what is)

>>294901

What did you end up getting into? Finance yourself? We both know a lot of people who graduate with a degree in Economics fail, but that won't be me. I fucking refuse to fail no matter what, and that's why I want to get ahead now.

>>294325
havent seen this much stupid in ages

>>294808
We've established this over on TV; the unsullied have cocks, just not balls.

If any particularly affluent members of biz are interested, we're looking to raise enough money for charity that Emilia Clarke will consider filming herself blowing 8000 guys in full armor. I get to go first, dibs.

>>294906
I didn't get into finance but I am doing fairly well. Note that it took me a year after graduation to get to this point, but I make close to 100k/year with a full time job and some side consulting. I'd rather not get into more detail.

I'd say I'm lucky, but you know luck is about making the right decisions.

A lot of econ people do fail. You won't be one of those people.

>>294277

these are the people giving advice on this board

>>294223
I want to apply for a position

I have seen both sides of the coin. I have worked in a small place where my boss was the hr department. It sucked and was a huge conflict of interests. There was no third party to arbitrate issues or help you with time off, insurance etc.

I now work at a major company. The HR employees do nothing and make you fill out silly forms a lot but they are great if you need them.

>>294826
Honestly, the best thing you can do for your resume is make it simple and to the point. You don't want an excessively long resume. Don't put things like GPA or IQ on it for the love of god.

>>294894
>what type of person do you think generally aims for HR and actually becomes an HR manager?

We're a diverse bunch. It depends on the sector. Usually customer service is dominated by women and minorities, but tech and engineering is still mostly male.

>What type of skills do you need to be succesful here?

Good organizational skills are a must, being able to communicate, being a "people person" and just generally having a business demeanor. You can't let emotion get in the way of doing your job.

>What's you current wage? Is that above or below the average?

I'd say it's right around average for HR managers. More than 80k but less than 110k is all I'll say.

>I'm interested in doing HR as well, but I heard that it's pretty tight to get in (women usually do it) and there's not really room for promotion. Is that true?

As far as promotion, it really depends on your company. I started out with this company as an intern. I majored in finance and was just trying to find any management positions I could get when summer rolled around, and this place paid pretty well. I got myself into an analyst position after graduation helping create schedules for workers and doing very basic paperwork. After I figured out what I was doing I moved into a management position after a couple years. I'm pretty much capped though.

>>294826
Make a personal connection. Usually when guys at my company take the effort to come in and ask about jobs and talk with project managers or supervisors and show that they really want it, they usually end up getting at least an interview if they're qualified. 24 isn't old, either, so don't worry about that. I was 28 by the time I finished college. I started late and went to school using my GI bill after I got out of the Army.

How does it feel that you are working in one of the most useless departments in the company?

>>294325

You are. And you look even dumber because you have not realized that this board has IDs

>>294971
>>295626
It makes it easier on management for us to take care of these things so they can focus on things like production and general productivity. With us to manage accounting, payroll, schedules, resumes, and things of that sort, it's much easier on the business. There's a lot of good we do. Normal project managers just can't handle everything on their plate plus HR and operational issues.

human resources sounds like something from a dystopian novel. which it pretty much is.

>>297594

Beautiful. And the pointless thread is over.
Thank you all for coming.

I can offer advice as far as resumes/what I look for in a resume, or getting into an industry.
