Recruiting is not for the faint of heart. Between ghosted interviews, wild resume claims, and last-minute dropouts, you’ve either laughed... or cried.

Here are a few anonymous moments from the front lines:

The Vanishing Act 
A candidate confirmed, then blocked me on every channel 10 minutes before their interview. Still don’t know why.

The Inflated Resume 
An entry-level applicant listed ‘AI-Driven Global Leadership’ as a skill. They were applying for a front desk job.

The Unexpected Plus-One 
A candidate brought their cousin to a Zoom interview because they were ‘better at answering questions.’ Cousin didn’t get the job either.
