What do you really want from us? We've been working our arses off For hours and hours Days and days Weeks and weeks Months and months And we've faced numerous obstacles along the way Obstacles placed by the market By the candidates to whom we've been speaking And by even yourselves!! In spite of all these hurdles We've done our best To ensure that you get the right people For the requirements you've assigned us However, the way in which you reciprocate our actions Is bewildering, to say the least As far as decision-making is concerned You're even worse than Hamlet! You reject a lot of quality resumes Without any rhyme or reason You change your requirements As per your whims and fancies And then cry foul When you lose a few good candidates Due to your inexplicable actions You put roles on hold at random And keep the best candidates on tenterhooks Waiting for an interview that'd never happen And then blame them for dropping out eventually You demand resumes at the speed of a cheetah And provide feedback at the speed of a tortoise All in all, you ensure that we tear our hair out By its very roots Every waking moment of our lives In order to satisfy every whim of yours But will you truly ever be satisfied? Let me ask you again What do you really want from us?
