I get one vote out of four. The HR person gets one, the campus manager gets one, and the team lead gets one. I am the technical reviewer to determine if the person knows what we want them to know. Campus manager and HR will usually toss those guys. Team lead goes along to get along. I am usually the odd duck out but for the most part like it that way. We get 40 to 70 resumes a week for two jobs a week. It is high paced technical help desk work and most of the people taking jobs turnover within about 90 days to find a better job because they are technical, can find a better job and they don’t have to put up with our crap. Management is picky and like it that way. I only want someone I can work with and that will show up.
You’ve got positions where the only thing a customer “sees” is a voice over a phone and you won’t hire a fat guy like me?
Trust me, I’m VERY good at flying a desk!
Weight, tattoos and piercings affect the customer experience just how again?
Ok, I get that.
A help desk guy isn’t even seen by the customer, oh well every company has their strangeness.
I hope you don’t actually tell the applicants why you’re not hiring them. They’d own you lock, stock & barrel with a good lawyer. Seriously. BTW, I weigh 350, so I guess no workee for me, huh?
