Phone calls and in person died off in the late 2000s. There was still the occasional HR with public access but it was more: use one of the computers right over there. Nope, keep that resume, input that information at the application station.

By the early 2010s, those were gone. No one knows where the door to HR is now. That knowledge has been lost to all but the few who work there. The phone was also disconnected at that time.

    In a lot of places, HR isn't even on site, or in some cases, they're not even part of the company. I know my current employer contracts their HR services.

    our HR basally begs us for personal references once every few months, even offering referral bonuses for like $1000.

    and almost none of our hires come from that. they are mostly blind hires for entry level. for mid and upper level they are head hunted.

    we tried temp to hire through but those employees were almost always fired for being total disasters.
