Someone referred me for swe at Facebook, the recruiter reached out and said they’re looking for atleast 2 years of full-time exp and won’t be moving forward. But still she wants to complete the app process and scheduled a phone call. Any tips, on how to approach? I have 1 year of full-time exp as well as internships.
Adds to her numbers
It doesn't add to her numbers... recruiters are measured by - recruiting (not by completing processes...) Probably wants to have you in the system for when they will have open positions for that level of experience
I don’t suggest you continue, couple of my friends got ‘rejected’ recently right after they got offer because HC only wants someone with YOE 5+, I didn’t believe it at the first time till I applied myself and confirmed with recruiter twice about that saying I only have YOE 4, she got back to me yesterday that they won’t move forward :((( I guess it’s miscommunication across roles and teams, the recruiter felt sorry about that too that her supervisor had not synced on that at the beginning
Your story is made up.
Yeah I hope it’s made up lol, especially if multiple people have gotten offers rescinded that seems so extreme. Because those people possibly leave their current job after they get/accept offer.
Why do they want to complete the process if they tell you up front that they won't move forward?
