Halloween Screams in HR: The “Perfect Candidate” Costume 👻

Somewhere in HR land, a hiring manager just screamed into a pumpkin spice latte.

Spirit Halloween Costume: The “Perfect Candidate”

Includes:

• 5 years of experience (but fresh out of uni)

• A PhD in Excel and “team player” energy

• Salary expectations: “happy to be here”

• Can “hit the ground running” (no training provided)

• Available to start yesterday

Does not include: realistic expectations, clear job description, or budget for the unicorn you’re chasing 🦄

And what you actually get? A three-legged cat, adorable, determined, but… not quite what the job ad promised.
