Can you promote in r/recruitinghell?
Did a recruiter make you send them a resume and still fill out all the same information on their website? Did a candidate send a cover letter that just says "PLEASE LET ME WORK HERE"? Tell us those stories!
The short answer
Do not promote your product or company; if you reply, give a neutral, non-promotional helpful comment without links or offers to hire or demo.
What works here
- sharing amusing recruiting horror stories
- civil commentary or advice relevant to the thread
- posting company names in story posts (per sidebar) but not for solicitation
What gets posts removed
- pitching products or services, or guiding conversation toward them
- posting recruitment ads, job links, or solicitations
- sharing links to your product/site or asking for customers/leads
- using AI-generated content ('AI Slop')
