I just updated my resume and added the following:

2 years of Carbon experience.

Consider CarbonImmutable as your interview trump card.

@EddieBro I was just going to use it to get past the "HR" garbage but you do have a point

Sorry, HR requires 10 years experience in the platform that just got released next year. Better luck next time!

Sorry, but your resume states you only have 2 years experience with carbon. We need a senior carbonator with atleast 10 years experience in this language.

Feel free to reapply when you are more qualified for the position.

OMG!! HOU'RE HIRED!!

I'm really surprised the platforms themselves dont have a filter based on the length of time a technology or framework has existed

Someone could probably write an extension for any given browser, that grabs the listed jobs, checks the number of years of experience against a short list of of 1k or so languages, libraries, and technologies, and then filters out or removes from the DOM any jobs that list impossible requirements.

@Wisecrack that would create empty pages most of the time.

Should be run on Portal side not client side, to even prevent posting those offers in the first place.

A compromise would be to have the poster add a requirement, and then a slider that specifies the number of expected years (with the full age of the technology as the limit of the slider).

Maybe have some tabs along the slider, to make it crunchy.

"entry level", "junior", "senior", "lead", etc.

That way these companies can be forced to manage their expectations.

Setting it to entry level is "1 year" experience or having just graduated.

Junior tab sets the slider to '2-4 years.'

Senior sets it to '5-6 years experience in xyz'

Lead sets it to '7+ years' plus and/or team-lead experience.

There is definitely opportunity for better job sites, which force out the scabs and enforce some sanity on the industry.

Thats how I would do it anyway.

Call it "the anti-recruiter recruitment platform."

Add in some scraping for other job sites.

Cold call to find piss poor recruiters, or grab data from reviews of the companies, and split it into training and testing sets.

Train decisions trees and regression models on it.

Use it to filter out shit companies (which is better than the keyword models used now), like a *inverse* recommender system.

I'd build it if I wasn't busy working day jobs ffs.
