Why is LinkedIn so full of Virtue Signaling B.S. (ex: "I hired a hobo who shat himself in my interview and now he is our VP! -OMG-") and why is it the H.R. the folks leading on that?

At least you could have sprayed some Lysol on your way put of the interview...

If you think HR is the professional equivalent to a villain - By releasing misleading information they can gain the upper hand by encouraging poor decisions by competing HR professionals.
My actual view- they just want to share a nice uplifting story with an unexpected outcome. To maybe inspire others to apply to a company that takes chances on underdogs.
Just my thoughts, depends on the interactions you have had with HR in the past I guess.

Also, everyone does want to be seen as experts in a way that sets them apart. I know I’m always trying to think of ways to set myself apart from a huge pool of super qualified professionals. Usually the loudest will be seen as more appealing even more so if their methods are seen as innovative. I think it’s 90% appearance in our digital age if not more. So we must adapt or starve.

Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
