I used to be in retail management. When recruiting I always made sure that I contacted every unsuccessful applicant. Yes it was time consuming but it was just common courtesy, plus each of those applicants could be customers and I wanted them to know that although unsuccessful this time, the company appreciated them applying.

Sometimes managers at corporate jobs bend rules or directly break rules because they’re humans with empathy. I worked at a predatory loan office after college and talked many customers out of all kinds of loans that they didn’t need or couldn’t get out of if they would’ve applied. Literally would give them financial advice and try to help them find an alternative solution before borrowing money from us. But our manager at Wendy’s in high school would take wraps and cheese and sauces and make us cheese quesadillas. He knew he could get in deep shit but didn’t care because it was shit that we were gonna throw away and it was a tiny thing that meant a lot to us.

@bccsivxx-xxivvii

@@Greenthumb6a I used to do the same thing, talk people out of getting loans when I worked for a place that did payday loans. I'd spend more time talking them out of it and looking for other solutions than it would take for me to write the loan. Around half of the people were coming in wanting a loan to pay medical bills, usually from one of those freestanding ER places that started popping up everywhere around 12, maybe 15 years, where they charge $60 for an aspirin. Collections would be telling them they were going to sue them and garnish their wages or even send the police to their house to arrest them and put them in jail if they didn't pay. Of course that's all BS, they can't throw you in jail anywhere in the US, and in my state they can't garnish wages for anything except taxes and child support. They're almost never going to sue for anything less than $5k, likely $10k. Medical bills don't count against your credit the same way as other debt, at least in my state, it can't be counted against you when applying for a home loan and a lot of places never bother reporting it anyway. And they have to accept a payment plan if you offer, whether it's $20 a month or whatever. I handed out flyers I made up with the contact info on how to file complaints with the state attorney general, OCCC, CFPB & FTC for the ones threatening jail time. Anyway, the ones that did get it, I made sure they knew the terms we weren't supposed to talk about, like it can be canceled if paid back within 3 days, or payment plans available with a fraction of the interest rate. I hate the way corporations run our country and our lives, trapping people in that crap. There was one senior manager that wanted to fire me over it. I flat out refused to stop what I was doing, telling her it's in the best interest of our customers and it'd be a disservice to withhold everything I counseled them on. But I was a model employee, my store still had the best numbers in the region with 15 others, and HR and some of her superiors actually backed me up, and said that wasn't a valid cause for termination. Surprising, because it probably was, this being an at will state.

I agree! How about they pay people for applying? Lol. The whole process is pretty time consuming, inconvenient, and often unrewarding for an applicant.

Those terms are not as catchy for this and are experiencing heavy useage in other situations so I understand turning these nouns to verbs will have to wait for mainstream appeal.

More than likely because the potential for abuse is 98.6%.

The company asked me to put together a 30 minute power-point presentation for the first part of the interview, which would then be followed by two-one hour panel interviews and lunch on-site with a hiring manager at their cafeteria. I asked if candidates are offered any compensation for putting together these presentation, and was told "It is a part of our interview process and we don’t compensate for interviews". Obviously I declined the interview, due to their lack of respecting a candidates time.

From what I’m seeing most applicants aren’t selected. Recruiting managers select a majority of people.

I applied for a job through a recruiting company and was told I didn't get it. A few months later I wound up talking to one of the people who interviewed me. He told me they were told I had decided not to accept the job. Turns out one of the other applicants had a higher education and because of this, the recruiting company were able to negotiate a higher salary and thus commission, so they screwed me over to get that...wow,I wrote this before Josh mentioned it in the video...

The worst part about applying for new jobs (in the US at least) is when you apply via Indeed or whatever and then you have to fill out the same information on the company's separate web portal. It's such a waste of time and goes against the point of Indeed, which is convenient as hell.

There's another reason this would backfire against the CEO if he charges applicants ... A job offer that requires you to make a down payment is one of the primary red flags of a PYRAMID SCHEME. This will cause a lot of people who are aware of this fact ... to avoid the company.

This is enlightening Joshua, it's easy for people like us to give all the power to these companies because we fear being judged.

Employers should advertise a position for two weeks, interview during the third week, and extend an offer of employment by the end of the fourth week. No multiple interviews; one interiew with the hiring manager, not with human resources nor with genitalia-wacking-on-the-table "techncial team bros"

Time to start calling them out on linkedin in front of everyone. Time to get right in their passive aggressive faces.

Petition to charge employers for rejecting me. I could've used that time to do some dogsitting, doordash, etc.

A lot of valid points! Excellent...never really thought about things in those terms.

Best answer I think you can give for "Are you interviewing for other jobs at the moment?" is: "Well, I've recently been contacted by headhunters for potential interviews, but your company seemed interesting / different which got me intrigued and here I am." Always turn the question back to the interviewer in a way that is respectful but at the same time promotes your worth as a potential employee. Always remember they are looking for people on the same basis you're looking for a new job so no one is really has the upper hand.

I would live to pay $5 to apply for a job. They just have to pay me $50 for travel, $10 for meal, and $100 for not going to another interview, and missing opportunities. If I don't get the job then they will have to refund my $5 and pay me $1,000.00 compensation for emotional damage.

The kick in the balls is that you’ll never complete the application process cuz they’ll never call you back and they’ll keep your $5

This is an excellent video! It's true that we've learned that any employer asking you for money is a scam. Some of these people are really full of themselves.

4:40 This has happened to me so many times Josh. The worst is when the company has a location 5 minutes away, but they'll only interview me at a location 4 hours away (I tell them this fact clearly and they don't care or they have internal fights and politics between different locations). I woke up at 4AM to get to an interview by 9AM only for a certain company to not even know what interview questions to ask and they only had a 10 minute interview for me. The worst part was when they followed up with me, at first I was happy to get feedback for the first time in my life, but then it turns out they were only being nice because they wanted me to work for a custodian position (I had been applying and interviewing with them for chemical engineering quality assurance roles, then they had the gall to tell me to take a custodian position).

I think this is a brilliant idea. As a potential job applicant, nothing would save me more time than companies openly broadcasting how stupid they are and save me the energy of engaging with them, or worse, going through the process, get hired, go through onboarding only to THEN find out your managers and/or colleagues are people like this.

Also to ensure no slavery, young people dont get married and dont get a girl pregnant, make sure she takes the birth control pill daily in front of you and both wear protection. You will just condemn your new child to increasing poverty and freedomless slavery and these control/money/job trends worsen. Promote this idea in videos and social media to help prevent more young people into this new slavery.

Plot twist - first he restricted the post to connections only, now I think it has been deleted. Much bravery.

Man, this is a great idea! I should charge 5 euros to every company I'm applying for, and I'll refund them if they don't ghost me. Might not even need a job, tbh

I think this is one of your best call-outs ever. Good work!

I used to think that these kind of video are getting boring and repetitive. Then I realize that unlike most of the youtubers, even if your video has same theme, I learn a lot of other stuff, like how the recruiters work. Keep up the good work Joshua.

One thing about telling them that you are interviewing with other companies: It can actually be a plus! I.e. companies want applicants who are more in demand, plus will work faster to expedite the interview process if they like you (I've had that happen in the past). So it just kind of depends, and I've only had that positive experience with certain tech/startup companies.

Thanks for doing what you do Josh! I am surprised and also not surprised at the nonsense you bring to the light. Employers are definitely unhinged. Keep up the good work!

Wow, I haven't even watched fully, but the CEO sounds out of it. I have to discuss this one, thanks for posting!

Charging to apply, that's a great idea!!! However I intend on charging for my time applying, interviewing, background check, drug test, talking to the idiots in your company and since I've run a company I'll be charging ninety bucks and hour, therefore I will have made ninety bucks during the interview alone. Had I thought of that idea I wouldn't need a job. Its astonishing how greedy and out of touch these nitwits are.

The only company that asks you to pay to join is a multi level marketing company lol I will say that I think Lawrence is annoyed the guy no showed to a scheduled interview, which is a lot different than not getting back to you. I would say its more like if a company scheduled an interview time and when you arrive they tell you that the interview was canceled but that still doesn't justify charging people to apply lol

Doesn't that guy who skipped the interview realize it's going to go in his permanent record?

@@BdelaCAS I was definitely joking. But I have been told by HR to rewrite a resignation letter in case I ever wanted to come back, because mine wasn't good enough and it would be in my permanent file. This was at a large university. I told them no. Within two months that university was a client of my new company I've now had for 13 years.

pay to apply totally not a scam

We love ALL YOUR CONTENTS!

This is a prime example of why you don't treat CEOs different than the janitor. Someone keeps agreeing with this guy even when he says stupid shit because he's in a position of power. You should be vehemently honest with these people. It reveals their true colors, while also releveling their sense of self.

That's so relatable. I've recently started getting messages regarding jobs openings. It's a beginner level job which requires at least 2-3 years of experience. If you won't give jobs to freshers (Those who don't have experience - Just to be clear) how will they get experience? By the way, love your videos, thank you very much. You've helped me a lot, please keep up the good work!

This is like the World of Warcraft joke that there's a guild application fee.

Another great video, Josh!!!! Keep up the great work!!!

You are helping a lot of young people wake up and it's a great thing. This corporate bs is for the birds.

I've been ghosted by companies so many times! Of course I could ghost someone else as a result. And also, here in Ukraine, an actual scam going with charging people before signing them a test task, lol.

I like to make my own little headcanon about CEOs Like these, like how this guy acts so indignant because ever since his "early entrepreneur" days he was treated as the President and everyone around him would lap up to him, so he literally does not know how to react to people treating him like a fellow plebian.

The worse part of it is that it's not even the type of job that everyone wants !

The amount of times that I have applied and gotten an auto response that my application was received and then never heard back from the company saying the job was even filled is ridiculous. I have applied to positions and not gotten a call and taken it upon myself to contact them about the status of my application, only to be told that they aren't hiring and that they just keep postings up just incase. As an applicant or employee your time or needs are just not valued today, a lot of companies just want what they can get out of you with a complete disregard to any hardships that they are putting on you. However when you give them the same energy and do your job but have no loyalty to that organization, you see all these negative news stories.

I'm now in the writing industry and I won't do a writing test/assignment without compensation in the initial stage of my application. It's different when it's further into the stages of interviewing, but it should be a short assignment based on content the company already has. But if my provided writing samples and portfolio aren't sufficient for my application, then I move on to another company. I'm not writing for anyone for free.

Josh - taking this idea a bit further..... So the corporate owner might look far more favourably on the candidate who pays him the most to apply for the job, rather than looking for the best qualified candidate. Bribery and corruption spring to mind!

The place I work for was like my 4th interview in the same week. They were the first ones to make an offer and I had other interviews lined up to. They made me an offer I could not refuse. They knew my time was valuable, they did not try to haggle very much. They gave me an offer that was above market value for my role. Here it is almost 3 years later and I am happier then I ever been with any job.

great content as always

Horrible bosses are everywhere. 😅

this is exactly how companies and recruiters behaving - they string you along for weeks/months with these 5 or 10 stage recruitment process and out of the sudden they ghost you. But when table turns this becomes a problem...

Great video. This is the mentality I take with job recruiters. I tell them that I know, with my credentials, I have a very high probability of being hired on the spot. So in order to proceed I require a payment. After all they're about to make a commission from my employment with their client and with the volume of recruitment emails and calls I get that my commitment is finite. This has weeded out the garbage and allowed me to focus on high value opportunities who actually pay because they are serious.

I do that all the time. Yeah, I have to alter my resume to suit the job but I apply to as many as I am able and wait to get as many interviews as I can.

Maybe the employees can help with the electric bills at the work place. I mean they use the electricity to do their work.

Thank you Josua -- every job seeker needs to hear this. BTW have you been on diary of a CEO? -- you need to be.

Cool, now I can invoice for all the time I spent filling in the same information from my resume into their broken web form, every follow up status call, and every minute of the interviews they put me through. That ought to cover that down payment and then some.

Recruiters make around 200 bucks an hour when the worker only gets 25 an hour, which is why consulting agencies are so aggressive. They make hand over fist from their workers and it's sick.

Dafuq kind of overpriced firm are you working for? My last firm made 65 per hour while I made 45 plus a small perk I'm sure the company before that was making 70 while I was making 35 per hour. 200 per hour better be a super niche skillset.

Every application to a job increases the pool of candidates to choose from. This is why, any additional applicant increases the quality of the final person hired to the position. Applicants should get paid for their time and efforts put in preparation to interviews, because them applying ultimately benefits the company. Pay me for my interview and I'll turn up, what's the problem?

impressed with how easily and smoothly you said quid

"Not everyone can afford to donate to charity, Sheena!!" I'm screaming!!

I applied for a government job. It was a good experience and I left feeling like I had a chance at landing the job. The group interview was nerve-wracking, never had a group of people interview me at the same time. I was later informed that they promoted internally but that they liked me. I got a call from them weeks later informing me of an opening and I went for the interview. They like me but they promoted internally. Weeks later I got another call about another opening. I politely informed them that I was considering my options and that I was no longer interested in working with them. You don't get to dangle a job at someone that obviously wants to work. The interview process was a multi step process and I had to meet with several people, fill paperwork, and conduct an assessment test. Never again.
