How am I supposed to hire "junior talent" when every entry-level job requires 5+ years of experience? Is time travel a prerequisite now? Joking, but the struggle is real!

Why can’t you raise the issue with your hiring team? There have been times I needed to level set with recruiters what someone with X years of experience is or isn’t willing to do.

Ask the hiring team to define “junior” talent for you then suggest edits to the JD. Junior to you might mean fresh grad. To them maybe it is 5 years. Adjust your search to their needs. That’s 101 stuff!

I'm referring to junior talent based on pay level. It's not easy to adjust in that sense :)

Hi Folks,

I've got a job offer from a small IT company. But before releasing the offer letter, they want me to accept a terms and conditions form which has this 10th point as shown in picture. It states failing to join them will result in paying 2 months of salary that's around 130000 rs.

Is it for real? If I get a better offer somewhere else ane don't join them, will I really have to pay this to them? Please help friends. What should I do?
