A director for a boutique marketing agency in Betoota Heights has revealed that he’s come up with a fail-proof employee screening process that ensures he can figure out quite quickly who will take shit.
Chatting to our reporter over a cup of coffee, Greg Manning, 42, says the secret to finding employees who will go above and beyond for next to no pay, is to make the interviewing process as convoluted as possible.
He explains more.
“When I put up a position as ‘entry level’, I’m not really looking for someone who’s straight out of uni”, explains Greg, “what I’m really looking for, is someone who has a few years’ experience but is willing to accept minimum wage.”
“And the great thing about marketing jobs is that it’s all so saturated! There’s just too many people looking for positions.”
“That makes it far easier to grind them down and offer them an hourly rate that’s less than what they’d make as a barista.”
Greg says that because he knows how competitive the job market is right now, he knows he can get away with doing four rounds of interviews, and even requesting assignments.
“Right now, I’ve got an ‘entry level’ marketing coordinator role which has already received over 100 applications.”
“I fully intend to waste multiple resources and people’s time by setting up multiple rounds of interviews.”
“Then I’m going to ghost all the unsuccessful candidates, because fuck em!”
“HAHAHAHHA.”
More to come.
