Not surprising where the only way to get tech jobs is to have 5 years experience or work service desk and hope someone whos job you want gets hit by a bus.
I just had this argument with my HR team. I want to hire some people straight out of college and train them. They want to spend 15k more and get someone with experience.
But where do those people magically come from?
I'm amazed people want "experienced" workers. Like trying to untrained an "incorrectly" trained worker is a pain in the ass. Like fresh out of college at least you have a base standard, once they have experience in the field you never know what you are going to get.
Surprised they actually want to pay them 15k more and not what they would pay a recent graduate if I am honest.
They believe experience = better. In some cases that can be correct like sales.
They now want five years of experience for service desk now.
You guys are getting helpdesk jobs?
