We've been trying to fill a position for months and nobody who comes even close to fitting the required qualifications has applied in all that time. I think Verizon's reputation has finally caught up with us. We desperately need help on my team but it doesn't look like we'll be getting it any time soon.

Nobody wants to work period.
Art Laffer of the Laffer Curve stated "Once you start paying people to stay home and overtaxing people that work, you'll have less of a workforce "
He also said governments that do this are moving for total control of their citizens.
maybe we need a change in our government.

Who is O'Keefe??
The company is already in O'Keefe's cross hairs with a lawyer calling around to do an investigation. Good times ahead, Merry Christmas.
Or maybe your job requirements make zero sense for the conp level, title, and pay…
It is true. I was recruited for a position. Been there. Done that. Never again. It is disgusting and demoralizing what passes for leadership at the company.
So it's not that no-one is applying, it's that you don't like who's applying. I think there's a difference there.

What is the job posting?? Or else dont post this bluff/fluff!!!
Verizon will eventually be sold for parts, what’s left of it. Glad I took VSP. My TC is now 2x. My first five years with Wireless were okay. But after Vodafone sold out and wireless merged up with the wireline mo--ns it all started going bad fast - Yahoo, AOL, Go90. When I left 5 Yee was a massive profit opportunity LOL. How much $$ is coming in from all thise Smart Cities? Maybe if the CEO was an engineer they would not have gone long on mmWave LOL. Oh yeah, also glad I switched to TMO.
Every year when a new contractor firm starts emailing I have to respond Not in a million years! I would do daycare work before ever going back there.
Of course not. Why would they? The only thing the senior leaders know how to do is cut heads to try to keep up with the shrinking revenue. The industry openly laughs at Hans millimeter wave strategy.
With a ~5% exception rate those that have stayed are either unemployable elsewhere or just coasting because they can. No one cares. The only thing the senior leaders know how to do is cut heads to try to keep up with the shrinking revenue.

OP: Would you please post job description and location ?
What happened to all this talk of internal growth, training, talent gps, and a dozen other corporate gibberish programs they wedge in when talking about making verizon a career?
Another successful VZ HR “employee benefit” or an over elaborate distraction from the layoffs?
Do you mind sharing the open Req’s? I would be more than happy to apply.
I just severanced out this past August after working there 20 years. This company does not care about good employees its all about how much money they can make. I got tired of inadequate management, bullying and just the random BS they served everyday. This company will fail completely and has been since they stopped putting the customers first.
