Having fresh resumes is a tactic that allows us to be more flexible with employee schedules. With a staff of 20 people, maybe two per year turn over. I don’t know what you mean about hiring in advance… We hire when we need someone and we have a good number of people to choose from, that way we aren’t stuck with hiring the first applicant that comes along, which inevitably causes more work for the rest of the employees when we don’t get a good hire.
We don’t have that problem because we keep a fresh stack of resumes.
Dude FFS those are actual people, not just resumes.
Yea I know, and when we hire them we take good care of them. What’s the problem?
The problem is that sending in a resume and applying for a job takes effort. If you invite people to spend time and effort and mental energy to get a thing (job) when you know you won’t give it to them, then you are wasting their time and effort and mental energy, which I can tell you as somebody who fucking hates looking for jobs, that mental energy can be in serious short supply for people looking for work.
That “fresh pile of resumes” is definitely good for you when you want it, but the giant stale pile of resumes that you keep throwing away is not free for the people sending them in.
The people that are emailing us their resume each month know that it might be 6 months or a year before we call them, we are super transparent about that.
A lot of people want to work for us and we only have a limited number of positions which do not turn over very often.
We generally only accept emailed resumes, not paper resumes.
