# A Recruiter's Confession: 'Our Clients Have Lost Their Damn Minds'

**[TRUE STORY]** — by Recruiter · via r/recruiting

A recruiter took to Reddit with an unexpected position: candidates who ghost employers are playing fair. The confession was blunt. Clients, the recruiter wrote, now demand five or more interview rounds, personality tests, unpaid presentation projects — even for junior roles — and refuse to disclose salary until the final stage. "I'm spending 15 hours a week chasing people who've decided life's too short for this BS," the recruiter added. The post, from r/recruiting, drew thousands of upvotes and a wave of exhausted agreement from both sides of the hiring table.
