I worked* in IT recruitment for a short period in my career, and that look extended well into the ‘90s! After a few months at that job, I started to wonder if spending so much time staring at soulless equipment wasn’t affecting people. Too many candidates were completely humorless, culturally clueless, or sporting a thousand-yard stare. Thank goodness for background checks and references beyond the basic neighbors’ line, “He always seemed nice - kinda quiet and kept to himself.”
*was drafted by my manager into screening & interviewing candidates during project downtime
