LinkedIn it can be an important source of job opportunities, but sometimes things don’t work out the way you’d expect. The lawsuit between a staff recruiter and a user has sparked a heated debate on the social network owned by microsoft.
The case started when Janet Reyesan alleged headhunter, contacted the user via LinkedIn Fernando Martinez to invite you to apply for a job vacancy FEMSAthe corporative owner of Oxxo and what drives Coca-Cola in Mexico.
“Hello Fernando how are you? I was very interested in your profile since I have vacancies available at FEMSA as Front and React native lead, I would like to know more about you background Y expertise. Could you share your CV with me? Also, knowing when you have 10 minutes to learn more about your skills in a phone call”, was the message from the alleged FEMSA recruiter.
Fernando’s response was blunt, there were even those who considered it sarcastic and aggressive.
“I invite you to review my profile on LinkedIn. If I have experience in ReactNativewe continue with your offer”, replied Martínez, who describes himself as “react developer”. That is, someone who designs and builds JavaScript-based applications for web or mobile devices.
Apparently, the man was offended because the recruiter confused the knowledge he masters, according to another Internet user.
“Big offenses for programmers: confusing Java with JavaScript, confusing React with React Native. Dude, relax hard, the most important thing in companies is business, not technology. No one is obliged to be a knowledge guru in software development”, commented user César Granjero.
However, what ignited the controversy was that the headhunter answered the user in an even stronger tone:
“Thank you mr mom. Many times they are not specified, or they have it, but they do not include it”, answered Janet Reyes.
And the debate broke out on LinkedIn
To showcase the recruiter, Fernando decided to take a screenshot of the messages he exchanged with her. The image went viral on social networks and the story divided Internet users, who took sides on one side or the other.
On the one hand, many criticized Reyes’ visceral response, and the language he used while representing a company like FEMSA. However, the majority were more bothered by Martínez’s response, as they say it was “superb”, “unnecessary” and “not friendly”.
“Where was I not nice? If I even invited her to review my profile before offering a vacancy that has no relation to my previous experience, “Fernando said in networks in the face of criticism.
Others went against FEMSA, for not having qualified personnel for these tasks. Someone even pointed out that the woman is not a specialist in human resources or personnel recruitment, but a Bachelor of Nutrition.
However, the recruiter herself explained that she does not work directly for FEMSA, but with an external agency. She also apologized for the altercation and made it clear that the corporate is totally unaware of this situation.
