AI & Content Creator Serhiy S. published a vacancy, which, according to him, offers almost the lowest salary a specialist has ever encountered in the IT industry.
«This is the lowest salary I’ve seen in IT. And they even dragged AI into it,» he wrote and posted screenshots.
The candidate for the position of junior image analyst is offered a salary of 87 UAH per hour.
«How do you like these conditions? Experienced HR would advise replacing this with the wording: „Stable salary“. One might think that this is some no-name company coming up with something and passing it by. But no — this is a completely solid international company that provides solutions for intelligent data collection,» noted Serhiy.
According to Serhiy, judging by the information on the Scandit website, their technology can capture barcodes, text, objects, and identifiers.
«And so the company decided to look for a junior image analyst (JIA) to join the SmartEye project. It all sounds like you’re joining a young team in a high-tech startup that will work on an advanced image processing model. Until you read the sections «What’s important to us» and «What we offer,» the specialist notes.
Mykhailo Chumak, Senior Software Engineer, responded to a vacancy that turned out to be impossible to apply for. «Do you want a vacancy? Well, you’re welcome, swallow your poison… I think that’s what Jooble developers think, because a joke happened to me. Today I found a vacancy, filled in certain fields, and then I clicked the «respond» button, and in response there was silence, zero reaction. I think: well, that’s all, I press F12 and voila — what do we see? A javascript error. Well, I think fire — I follow the track and find the culprit.
if (r === otWORK_EXPERIENCE)
l.value = 0≠= s.length? null == (u = s[s.length — 1])? void 0: u.experience: c;
That s was an array of data from the experience block
«But why should we talk about it, let alone throw an alert,» he wrote and showed a screenshot.
Python Developer Pavlo Braga shared a job vacancy that is obviously unrelated to programming.
«Check out what a great offer I was recently offered. The vacancy is Dnipro (on site). Kolya, is that really you? I urgently need a couple dozen sevens!», the developer wrote and added a screenshot.
PMO & Leadership Consultant Ores Dmytrasevych showed a vacancy for a Project Manager, which, despite the rather high requirements for the specialist’s experience, offers a minimum salary.
«No, I knew the market had fallen, but what if… Who has 9+ years of experience — apply?» he asked the community and posted a screenshot.
The vacancy states that they are willing to offer a salary of $450 to $600 for a project in the field of marketing and advertising with extensive experience.
The people of Aitovo are hotly discussing such a job offer.
Recruiter Viktoriya Mirkevych says that such an offer is most likely incorrect, because the job description shows that an assistant is being invited to work. So the background requirements are most likely irrelevant.
«I can imagine the stress of a recruiter who simply made a mistake when publishing, but the screenshot has already hit the top of LinkedIn discussions. But you can come up with a cool infomercial from this and promote it to attract more attention to the company in a positive way,» notes Senior Employer Brand Manager Yulia Semenova.
Frontend Developer Tetyana Guseva shared a story about how she conducted an entire investigation into a vacancy from an employer who was hunting her down for a developer position without any professional requirements in this area.
While reviewing Djinni, the specialist found an «interesting» position and key points to understand why it’s not worth wasting time on such vacancies. Below is a list with the author’s comments.
«Next is more interesting. The company’s website is down, when searching we get the .ru domain. The vacancy is open from one company. When talking to HR, it turns out that it is a completely different company. And then we find out that a third party is hiring. The most interesting thing is that the vacancy is well-written, the technical stack is also not bad. As a result: completely different responsibilities, not even related to the candidate’s field of work. And these are: online courses, communication with students (if there are problems), and most importantly, working with the CRM system — a typical office description,» notes Tatyana.
According to the developer, she was applying for a job related to Frontend.
«When asked where the entire technology stack went, we get: 'You will still have career growth, and perhaps you will then move on to this stage. We get growth through a fraudulent career. Quite a good prospect, right?'» the specialist rhetorically asks the community.
Tatyana added that, upon receiving a relevant link to the employer’s website, she discovered that the location was all the way in Scotland. «Sorry, it’s a long way to go,» she concluded the story.
Project Manager Tanya Flyak told how a recruiter from Lviv wrote to her about cooperation in Russian, and when asked why she was communicating in the language of the occupiers, she said that «the company only has loyal views on such things.»
«A recruiter from EVADAV also wrote to me. She is a girl from Lviv. She received a bachelor’s degree from the Lviv National Agrarian University. I can’t find words to describe our communication. I’ll just leave this dialogue here,» the specialist noted .
According to EVADAV company information, it is a leading advertising network specializing in delivering engaging and high-quality advertising in various formats such as push notifications, popunders, banners, native ads, and in-page messages. The advertising platform covers over 250 countries worldwide, reaching a huge audience of over 3 billion daily impressions.
The company is registered in Cyprus. However, the LinkedIn profile indicates that the company has about a hundred specialists working in Ukraine.
Recruiter Anastasia Lytvyn published a part of the candidate’s resume with an interesting remark.
Recruiter Iryna Havrylyuk showed a piece of the candidate’s resume, where he promised to share his portfolio on Telegram. However, she was unable to recognize the specialist on the messenger.
Talent Recruiter Veronika Zabolotska also showed a part of her resume that surprised me. «Do I understand correctly that the 2 minutes that could have been spent checking the email and removing traces of ChatGPT were spent on self-development?» she asked ironically.
