That's very thoughtful. It always bothered me when I saw posts like that. It felt almost cynical, as if it was up to me. What made it worse was that when I applied for those jobs, I was often ghosted, or in the NL, got rejection letters from HR, not the one who posted, that were horrendously blunt.
