i have been looking for a job and it seems that every single business has had its application process taken over by unicru. i found this post on
melbel.com...
i share this persons feeling almost exactly.
"I have applied for about three jobs with the Unicru application and I have learned to avoid any job whose application is through Unicru. I am a
person who does not have much time. I can devote probably 10 minutes to a job application, but when it gets to be repetitive questions that go on for
nearly an hour, I've got to call it quits. When I am looking for a job, I look several places and when you get to filling out multiple Unicru
applications, it gets old really quickly. It's not that I'm lazy either, I'm more strapped for time.
I'm a good worker and pay attention to detail, but I'd rather explore my options and apply to multiple places in the same amount of time it would
take to fill out a Unicru application.
Unicru asks a lot of questions that seem pointless, but it's really a personality test to find the most bubbly, energetic person. They give all
applicants a score and forward the scores to the business you applied to. The business then interviews the highest scorers. What if you're a good
worker and just have a few personal flaws (like everyone does?) Honestly, do companies really believe that the highest scorers are great people... to
me they sound too good to be true. I have the integrity to not lie on a job application and because of that, I get excluded from a job. That sounds
pretty backward to me. I just think it's wrong that a personality test determines whether or not you get a job. It's like companies don't want
diversity, they all just want the same person... just in multiples. Why don't we just all hire robots?
I think diversity makes things fun, you get to learn different points of view and different ways of getting the same work done. I think different
people doing work in their own way is more efficient than everyone doing it by "policy" especially when new ways don't deviate from work
schedules.
So before filling out an online application, I check to see if it's Unicru, if not then I'm happy. If so, I'm not going to waste an hour of my time
filling out an application for a job I'm not going to get because I am not a liar, I'm not going to make up a personality type that no-one has just
to appease a company."
has anyone else had this problem? how can i fix it? I'm disparate for work and the pricks seem to have an application monopoly.
