I bet it's an exaggeration of some sort. I don't think it would be wild to hear that a parent dropped their child off at a job interview and sat in the waiting room instead of the car because the temperature was unfavorable. I once brought my husband to a job interview for the same reason.

I mean, MAYBE in the sense that the parent might have given them a ride TO the interview and just waited in the lobby. I can't see any sane parent going into the interview with them.

So the phrasing of the title makes it appear that they asked recruiters how many of them have seen at least one person do these things and then displayed it as if most people are doing these things.

I think they are saying the person reported one or more candidates doing that thing, over an unspecified amount of time and number of candidates. But intentionally misleading

Hate to tell ya, but one of my recent hires (quit just last week) had his mom ask for an interview. :/ Staff hated his ass cause we constantly told him what to do, but he refused to do it, since we were women.

At a previous retail job, we frequently had teenagers and young adults getting their parents to drop off their resumes for them without even coming in with them 🥲 But I think only one person in like three years actually brought their parent to the interview. A few brought a friend or a partner.

The real concern here is the source. Intelligent dot com cranks out dozens of “surveys,” and publishes misleading reports on their results. Ex: they reported that 22% of employers said they were reluctant to hire students who’d participated in pro-Palestinian protests…

“Unreasonable compensation” for a college grad with 50k in debt in their eyes is probably $14.50 an hour, no benefits, because kids just don’t want to work anymore

I new a girl who was assaulted during an interview. The boss was a gooner and was still drunk from the night before. Times are changing and no one is trust worthy. If she'd brought a parent, she wouldn't be a nervous wreck now.

Best case: this is "brought a parent" like a parent has driven them there and possibly walked them to the door of the building. Probably: outright lie.

It's saying that 1 in 5 employers have had recent graduates bring a parent to their interview, not that 1 in 5 recent graduates are bringing their parents to job interviews. Maybe still false, but a very different claim.

That’s not what it says though. It says that one in five employers have experienced, or maybe just heard, that at least once someone brought a parent. Note for the hard of thinking: I’m not therefore saying this was true either.

It surprised me. But somehow the fresher found out about the job from the father’s ex-girlfriend. It did work out fine. Other ones had parents in the chamber or parents were local business owners.

No, the question being asked is "has this happened". It's not that 1/5 of interviewees have done it, but that it's happened at least once to 1/5 interviewers. Which is almost believable.

Having interviewed people for tech positions in the last ten years I can confirm that people do a lot of weird/inappropriate shit in interviews and ask for HUGE salaries, particularly young people because most of them haven't been coached. But not once did any of them bring their mom.
