Hey Wells Fargo. Get some better recruiters if you plan on hiring top notch employees. Your recruiters are from the ghetto. Half of them have poor grammar and can’t speak English. If a person applies for a job and is not chosen have the common courtesy and decency to let them know they are not being considered any longer. Very rude. Especially since you have laid off thousands of people now looking for work. First up hire talented recruiters who know how to recruit!

I have applied for countless jobs that I am over qualified for with zero luck. This place is a joke.
I hope you realize any good jobs posted are for optics. They already know who is getting the jobs.
Like most things at WF, the recruiting process has deteriorated significantly.
Not all on the recruiters. Matters just as much on hiring manager. We interviewed three people 2 weeks ago, decided on candidate late that Friday, submitted offer on Monday, was approved by director, accepted by candidate on Tues, and they will be starting right before Memorial Day.
I had an HR interview. The guy acted as if reading from a script. We finished. Two days later I get a cold call at 8am with the same guy telling me he needed to ask more questions. I was like “WTF”. Bizarre to say the least. Amazingly, I still got the panel interview.
As a hiring manager I can tell you the truth. The truth is the process can take a long time unless you control the posting, screens, etc. The managers who post and think the recruiter is going to do anything will be in for a rude awakening. If you’re looking for a job and your application is just sitting, you should reach out to the recruiter. There is a very good chance you still have a shot and they have not got to reviewing applications, yet.
I can’t believe how long jobs are staying open lately. Are the recruiters even working or were they laid off?
Compliance is a house of cards. Literally run by a clic. They’re all buddies outside of work.
and let not forget how many good candidates we lose because of how slow the process is
Bro literally automate these pointless HR headhunter jobs. You could feed ChatGPT a well-written job description and tell it to take in resumes — “please select the most optimal 10% of these applicants” — it would easily accomplish that.
Mgrs can see all the applicants. They do have some input if they choose to take the time to muddle through the ones that fail to meet the minimum requirements and waste everyone’s time
I love lamp.
"Ghetto" is a perfect acceptable word.
Like every other word, the standard is: if the shoe fits...
DEI runs rampant in HR. Got to check that box
I agree with everything the OP says, except for the use of the word “ghetto”.
The recruitment/hiring/interview process has been terrible at Wells Fargo for years. They don’t present all candidates to the hiring managers, they don’t get back to interviewees that they didn’t get the job, the fake interviews and fake job postings - it’s all just another example of how mismanaged the bank is.
AI is going to replace them all soon enough. They simply don't provide enough value. Re-verifying that someone meets the minimum requirements that they already answered during submission of the application and having almost zero understanding of the job they are recruiting for could easily be done by a robot.
We have an opening for months now and not one candidate has been presented.
