M Mechanism (M-024)

Intermediary Dependent

Inflated Requisition Requirements vs Actual Team Needs

Job description demands 10+ niche technologies and Staff-level qualifications for a straightforward feature engineering role.

Classification Facets

Actor Locus: hiring-manager

Nature: incentive

Visibility: inferable

Removability: intermediary

Structural Funnel Gates (Barriers) Where Mechanism Operates

B-013: Requisition Approval & Public Posting Stage: pre-posting B-002: Automated Filter & Parser Threshold Stage: ingestion B-004: Recruiter Screening Call Stage: recruiter

Observable Signals Emitted (Artifacts)

A-002 Fidelity: euphemism

Generic "closer alignment" rejection template

A-004 Fidelity: noise

Materially similar role reposted shortly after rejection

Explicit Forensic Non-Inferences:

Failing to meet an inflated "wishlist" does not mean candidate cannot excel at the team’s actual core tasks.
