In the fast-paced world of job hunting, we’ve all encountered it – those job postings that seem to demand the impossible. Ahmed Hassan, an HR manager here in Dubai, took a bold step by calling out HR managers and recruiters for posting job ads that set unrealistic expectations, especially for entry-level positions.

Ahmed’s post, shared on LinkedIn, struck a chord with many. Users resonated with his frustration and even pointed fingers at companies that offered low salaries while demanding years of experience from applicants. It’s a narrative that has become all too familiar, and it’s high time for change.

We’ve all come across those memes portraying companies in search of 20-year-olds with 25 years of experience – exaggerated, perhaps, but not too far from the truth. One user highlighted the need for recruiters to shift their focus from rigid requirements to finding the right fit for the job.

Ahmed’s call to action reminds us that the recruitment culture needs a makeover

Users are commenting that it’s time recruiters look beyond the confines of traditional hiring norms and recognize that potential often outshines experience.

The general consensus was to champion a shift towards recognizing and nurturing potential. After all, isn’t it the potential and attitude of a candidate that often define their success on the job rather than a checklist of qualifications?
