Any current job seeker will tell you that the hiring market is tough, and in no place is that more true than on LinkedIn. While LinkedIn is one of the best tools to make connections, find job postings, and contact hiring managers, actually landing an interview can feel harder than just going off the grid. r/recruitinghell is a community designed to help people through the process, by giving them a place to share job-hunting advice and vent about their struggles. 

Seeing an opportunity to help the subreddit out, user 006ahmed decided to share what the recruiters themselves see on the back end of LinkedIn's job posting creator.

"I had the opportunity to post a job on LinkedIn. I don't know why, but I'm assuming it's because I owned my own company for a few years," he wrote. "I don't know how helpful this might be, but it's worth knowing."

In just a few screenshots, viewers were introduced to the world of "minimum qualifications" and "auto-rejection," including a time-delayed rejection email scheduled to be sent three days after the auto-rejection.

"Sending the rejection email three days after the candidate applies to make it look like someone actually reviewed their resume is just pure deceit," one person commented.

Granted, minimum requirements are necessary for many positions, and the three-day period serves to give hiring managers a chance to change their minds about computer-rejected applicants. Still, in an environment where more and more employers are setting unrealistic expectations for candidates, it'd be nice to know just what you're going up against before applying. 

As one viewer put it, "Alongside the count of how many have applied, it should show how many have been auto-rejected. Just to really spice things up."
