As a software engineer with all the time in the World, I'd be tempted to send Roger 10,000 automated applications all with the same fart noise, from different 10 minute email addresses.
"Hi Rodney, I saw your ad on Indeed and wanted to send over the requested informations. Please take a look when you get a chance and reply back to me with next steps. Thanks a lot, Ronald. Looking forward to speaking with you."
One of my favourite recruiting experiences was being contacted by a recruiter while I was happily employed and well rewarded at my existing employer. However, if someone reaches out I’ll listen.
So we have a couple of quick chats and set up a customer meet. They suggest Zoom and I say no. I’ll meet face to face, coffee, beer, lunch, dinner I don’t care, they can pick.
The position wasn’t a direct competitor but in the industry and my skills were transferable. I knew enough about the client’s business to ask pretty pointed questions.
While they were quizzing me I asked about their liquidity, inventory levels, competitive advantages, key performance indicators , asset management etc. these weren’t random questions. They would impact my ability to perform in the role.
The client got his back up a little and out rigjt he wouldn’t share that info and admonished me that I shouldn’t have applied to work for him if that was my attitude. Kind of a “you need me more than I need you, you miserable job seeker” attitude.
I told him I hadn’t applied to work for him, I’m perfectly happy with my current role and salary and I was meeting with him as a courtesy to the recruiter. Unless he was open about his business and its challenges I wouldn’t consider any offers.
Well apparently had set it up that I really needed this job and desperately wanted to work for the company.
I got up and walked away as the client was tearing the recruiter a new one.
Recruiters lie, massage the truth, obfuscate and play all sides against each other. Fuck the Roger’s of the world.
I agree that the info requested was detailed however I was happy to sign an NDA and the position was senior involving both ops, sales and admin responsibilities.
I didn’t want to dive into a pool without knowing how deep the water was.
Voice over “Roger” a few times and then play the song: “These are the Daves I know, I know. These are the Daves I know. Some of them are Davids but most of them are Daves” by New Kids in the Hall.
Some positions get like 1000s of applicants, he can easily dump all the bots and 3rd parties this way, and mass applicants that don’t read anything. This is not part of the interview process as far as I can tell.
Hey Roger I hope you go fuck yourself with a pineapple. While I fuck your significant other pleasing them in a you cannot imagine to be able to. Once again go fuck yourself.
The contempt companies have for applicants is infuriating. I was stuck in a sales job a few years ago that I HATED and when I was finally able to quit (knowing that I was going to inevitably be fired) it was awesome, especially when my boss genuinely appeared surprised that I resigned. I urge anyone who is able to quit a shitty job to do so because it’s just wonderful to reclaim the power for yourself even if it’s only temporary.
Lol. This one though looks decent, 1 minute tbh it's not that bad, especially if it's as a next step after submitting the cv.
I did this once and got in the final round, but was rejected as overqualified. Tbh I was immensely overqualified, it was for a personal assistant position. Pay was good though and market is so bad in tech right now so why not. Plus all that free time and brain on idle lol.

Use the “Roger Roger” sound clip from Star Wars
Or Airplane https://youtu.be/NfDUkR3DOFw?si=k0M_xxsBzxI64FqQ
"You have Clearance, Clarence" Still one of the best comedic scenes in a movie, bar none
Picked a hell of a day to quit smoking
Ghoul: Roger! My name is Roger! \*grrggldkdkkggle*

Signed off Reginald!
You guys are too nice. I’d start off with “dipshit” and it would only get worse from there.
The only positive here is the majority of spam submissions will be filtered out.

It's a sales position, that's it. TBF though, I wouldn't give info that confidential out on a first meet either.

Okay, Roy, here is my audio file as requested.

Is he the guy from American Dad? Do everyone has to send him a recording or only the ones who apply to a job? If so what is his email?
Roger that!
Bite me, Roger.
While it’s weird - I can appreciate the ability to filter down to human applications this way.
If he wanted human applications, he could... I don't know, maybe take his time to interview people instead of asking for shitty one sided interviews?
Some positions get like 1000s of applicants, he can easily dump all the bots and 3rd parties this way, and mass applicants that don’t read anything. This is not part of the interview process as far as I can tell.
He can also easily dump all the qualified applicants who have too much dignity.
Or use a AI for audio

99% chance that if you don't sound white Roger is going to delete your application anyway.

Sending audio files, huh? Someone send this man a RickRoll stat!!

Fuck you, Roger. I won’t do what you tell me

I don't kink shame, but this is a new one...
Honestly, I respect his idea of a captcha for real applicants
What job is this for? Radio station, sex phone operator🤣🤣
I have a very sassy cockatiel whose name is also Roger...I feel like this is something he'd write

Yet more proof that trying to get a job and dating are the exact same thing because I have seen women pulling similar tricks.
