The job search from Hell - from this side of the table
637 applications for one job. And they managed to get to a list of 27 for the conference interviews! Of course, they did that by having as one of their top criteria "went to the right schools." Ick.
They brought it on themselves by (1) being in NYC and (2) leaving the field as Open.
The story has a happy ending (at least so far - check back at the time of review one!) - they got to hire 2. The sole comment (so far) notes that they failed on the diversity front, though.
