**[SATIRE]** — by The Satire Desk · inspired by a post on r/recruitinghell

GORMLESS SYSTEMS — PEOPLE OPS
Interview Loop v21.0 — Release Notes
Rollout: immediate. Applies to all open roles, including the unpaid ones.

WHAT'S NEW
• Loop length increased from 14 rounds to 21. Early data showed candidates were still forming opinions at round 14; this release aims to fully extinguish them.
• New Round 19 (Culture Discovery) replaces old Round 19 (Culture Discovery), which had accidentally been scheduled after Round 20.
• All recruiters now authorised to say “we're moving fast” at any point in the eleven-week process.

IMPROVEMENTS
• Round 8 (Take-Home) now due within 48 hours and reviewed within never.
• Final round renamed “the final round” for the third time. A second final round has been added for candidates who impress.

KNOWN ISSUES
• Some candidates report receiving an offer. This is a display bug and has been logged.
• Round 21 (Offer) may be preceded by Round 21 (Rejection). Both are working as intended.

DEPRECATIONS
• Feedback. Vague regret. Good luck out there.

— Gormless Systems People Ops. We regret nothing.
