ens out resumes and many job matching programs are overwhelmed automation has squeezed human contact out of hiring which has pushed applicants to seek any path to a live hiring manager no matter the means the overall us unemployment rate continued to climb throughout 2025 reaching 4 6 according to the bureau of labor statistics and while the number of unemployed high school graduates held steady at about 4 4 in november the rate for workers with a bachelor s degree rose to 2 9 from 2 5 a year ago about a third of dating app users said they had sought matches for job hook ups according to a resumebuilder com survey of about 2 200 us dating site customers in october two thirds targeted potential paramours who worked at a desirable employer three quarters said they matched with people working in roles they wanted people are doing it to expand their networks make connections because the best way to get a job today is who you know said stacie haller resumebuilder com s chief career advisor networking is the only way people are rising above the horror show that the job search is today 175617219 story slashdot s interview with bruce perens how he hopes to help post open developers

four hour conversations bloomberg com 48 posted by beauhd on friday september 06 2024 06 50pm from the endurance sports dept in a newsletter for bloomberg ashley carman discusses the rising trend of long podcasts and their surprising popularity among listeners by today s standards of interminable podcast discussions a nearly three hour recording isn t even particularly notable she writes highlighting recent episodes from joe rogan 2 hours 16 minutes with adam sandler lex fridman 8 hours 37 minutes with elon musk and the acquired podcast 3 hours 38 minutes with lockheed martin increasingly podcasters are pushing the outer limits of episode length while stress testing the endurance of their audiences popular podcast gabfests can now run on for half a workday or longer from the report one might assume such marathon episodes must be the result of a hands off approach to editing but this is not the case said ben gilbert co host of the acquired podcast every month he and his co host david rosenthal release a three to four hour podcast detailing the story of a specific company the in depth histories he said are the result of nine hour recording sessions and a month of research it s not important to ship every good minute gilbert said it s important to ship only great minutes if you re actually intellectually honest with yourself that s how to release a really good product even with the longer runtimes he said their audience listens to the vast majority of each episode consider their deep dive on lockheed martin which runs for three hours and 38 minutes on apple podcasts the average listener consumed 70 of the show he said an episode on nike which clocks in at upwards of four hours had an average consumption rate of 68 every time we made something longer people only seemed to love it more he said on the show s website the hosts describe the episodes as conversational audiobooks jack sylvester executive director at flight studio the bartlett founded podcast company behind diary of a ceo said the team can view data around how much of the audience consumes episodes on youtube s tv app versus on a phone tablet or computer tv usage he said is ticking up to give viewers a reason to keep the show on as their primary viewing experience they re now making sure the videos have a top quality polish still in a world in which people scoff at the prospect of a three hour movie and short form video is the dominant consumption trend in entertainment these podcasters are eagerly meandering in the opposite direction the short form obsession ended up creating white space for us said gilbert of acquired whenever you have a trend that means there s people who feel left behind and want to flock to something new this sets us apart 173650988 story fake job interviews target developers with new python backdoor bleepingcomputer com 16 posted by beauhd on friday april 26 2024 08 02pm from the stay vigilant dept an anonymous reader quotes a report from bleepingcomputer a new campaign tracked as dev popper is targeting software developers with fake job interviews in an attempt to trick them into installing a python remote access trojan rat the developers are asked to perform tasks supposedly related to the interview like downloading and running code from github in an effort to make the entire process appear legitimate however the threat actor s goal is make their targets download malicious software that gathers system information and enables remote access to the host according to securonix analysts the campaign is likely orchestrated by north korean threat actors based on the observed tactics the connections are not strong enough for attribution though although the perpetrators of the dev popper attack aren t known the tactic of using job lures as bait to infect people with malware is still prevalent so people should remain vigilant of the risks the researchers note that the method exploits the developer s professional engagement and trust in the job application process where refusal to perform the interviewer s actions could compromise the job opportunity which makes it very effective 149755571 story the rise of never ending job interviews bbc com 205 posted by beauhd on monday august 02 2021 08 02pm from the bad hiring practices dept an anonymous reader quotes a report from the bbc every jobseeker welcomes an invitation to a second interview because it signals a company s interest a third interview might feel even more positive or even be the precursor to an offer but what happens when the process drags on to a fourth fifth or sixth round and it s not even clear how close you are to the final interview that s a question mike conley 49 grappled with earlier this year the software engineering manager based in indiana us had been seeking a new role after losing his job during the pandemic five companies told him they had to delay hiring because of covid 19 but only after he d done the final round of interviews another three invited him for several rounds of interviews until it was time to make an offer at which point they decided to promote internally then he made it through three rounds of interviews for a director level position at a company he really liked only to receive an email to co ordinate six more rounds when i responded to the internal hr i even asked are these the final rounds he says the answer i got back was we don t know yet that s when conley made the tough decision to pull out he shared his experience in a linkedin post that s touched a nerve with fellow job seekers who ve viewed it 2 6 million times as of this writing conley says he s received about 4 000 public comments of support and four times that in private comments from those who feared being tracked by current or prospective employers in fact the internet is awash with similar stories jobseekers who ve become frustrated with companies particularly in the tech finance and energy sectors turning the interview process into a marathon that poses the question how many rounds of interviews should it take for an employer to reasonably assess a candidate before the process veers into excess and how long should candidates stick it out if there s no clear information on exactly how many hoops they ll have to jump through to stay in the running for a role google recently determined that four interviews was enough to make a hiring decision with 86 confidence noting that there was a diminishing return on interviewer feedback thereafter john sullivan a silicon valley based hr thought leader says companies should nail down a hire by date from the start of the recruitment process because the best candidates only transition the job market briefly reports the bbc according to a survey from global staffing firm robert half 62 of us professionals say they lose interest in a job if they don t hear back from the employer within two weeks or 10 business days after the initial interview that number jumps to 77 if there is no status update within three weeks 114669680 story google will shut down google hire in 2020 55 posted by beauhd on wednesday august 28 2019 06 00am from the

workflow that integrated things like searching for applicants scheduling interviews and providing feedback about potential hires into google s g suite reports techcrunch it was built mostly for small

expect any new features to be added google also notes that it intends to stop taking payment for the product in the meantime saying in a support faq that customers will see no additional charges for
