Anonymous Employers

The internet has afforded lots of 'questionable' businesses and companies or individual employers to see resumes along with personal information at their immediate disposal or sourcing for data.  Whether there is actual employment potential is never posted clearly enough.  There is the understanding of an employer not wanting to have potential respondents coming into their supposed offices but they can also state that clearly in the job posting.   Anyone who is dire in need of a job would appreciate and adhere to that request and respond accordingly.  There is no need for almost all of these companies who post on the major job sites to be anonymous or have very important criteria withheld from the general public.  They specify their criteria for potential respondents ad nauseam but nothing about themselves or the salary they wish to pay or even the parameters of the salary base, hours and actual job duties and not all encompassing duties so as to protect their legal base for immediate termination.


It is so much easier for them to post the most all encompassing requirements for the job so as to get the best respondents possible along with those that are somewhat less qualified.  The blatant truth is you really don't know who you hire until that person has actually done that specific job before or has proved themselves after being hired.  Resumes can be also concocted to best fit the job description and an employer can be thrilled he found a good candidate during an interview process.   But up and until that individual starts to show up late or spend too much time around the water cooler you never know who you are hiring.  


So I urge employers to post the name of the company and be truthful enough so the average candidate can decide on whether to respond or not.  As stated before, anyone who is in dire need of work will do his or her best to respond accordingly and not make up resumes simply to fit the job description or get into potential work they may not be qualified to do in the first place.  The concept is so simple.  Yet the economic times and the vast cyber world of the internet at hand allows all of this misrepresentation to continually take place with lots and lots of time and resources wasted.  Anonymity is absolutely the wrong way to go on posting a position on the internet.  It can only leads to misuse and endless dark tunnels of misinformation.  Unfortunately, no company who is at minimum a viable and existing one with an actual address or phone number will stoop to the world of anonymity and hope all comes out okay.  It is wrong, deceitful and in today's world of so many reliable and  hard-working people looking for work,  poses a huge gap of anyone like that actually being hired.
