'No Karens' | Firm takes gamble with 'brutally honest' job ad, and it may have paid off

A “brutally honest” job advert featuring a huge list of criteria of who SHOULDN’T apply has hit headlines, attracting a mix of reactions including high praise from an HR manager, and putting a spotlight on the importance of striking the right tone in a job posting.

Shorties, a dessert shop based in Cwmbran, South Wales, recently took to social media in their search for a new Assistant Manager to take on responsibilities including supervising shifts, supporting the store manager and the business by driving performance and exceeding targets, and delivering “a fantastic experience every time” for customers.
