You are giving advice to some of the dumbest people in the country. I'm not saying its bad advice, but these people are universally stupid. I don't know exactly why things ended up this way, but I'd love to hear where this isn't a truth.
These organizations are so dysfunctional on this front too, in so many ways.
Even when the technical people communicate "requirements" to HR, it's often a scattershot of everything the department touched even in some ancillary fashion in the last 5 years, and now ends up a game of telephone that, because someone in the department wants to migrate to 'Hive MQ', it's a "hard requirement" with 7-YOE required even tho it was literally just a managers' idea with no implementation path aside from a sprint ticket to "discuss it."
They allegedly need "an expert in IOT" but you'll spend 6 months configuring GitHub runners for some Java CRUD thing. Companies accidentally, by product of pure dysfunction, end up rug pulling people all the time.
It would be an uphill battle.
I actually have much more negative thoughts than that, but I'm told we should assume they are stupid rather than malicious.
Title inflation is a phenomenon spread far beyond tech.we shouldn't shame "learnable on the job work", but we don't need to pretend everyone is a VP either. HR in this case is there to allegedly help resolve problems with workers (reality: there to help prevent or alleviate the workload of lawyers). They have no business in recruiting past maybe a behavioral call.
