Bosses are human; they don’t want to have to do more work than is necessary to fill a job opening. The bosses I know don’t RELISH the thought of going through hundreds of applications, so they’re looking for ways to save time.

Relishing in horror
It probably comes as no surprise that directing legend Alfred Hitchcock enjoyed scaring people.
Janet Leigh, who became famous as a result of the shower scene in Psycho, once confirmed this suspicion.
"He relished scaring me," she once recalled. "When we were making Psycho, he experimented with the mother's corpse and used me as a gauge of sorts. I would return from lunch, open the door to the dressing room, and propped in my chair would be this hideous monstrosity. The intensity of my scream,... decided which dummy he would use…"
What we can't confirm is whether Hitchcock relished eating relish, which brings us to the other definition of our word. The word relish goes back to the 16th century and stems from the Old French "relais", taste or flavor. In the 17th century the sense of "enjoyment, as in taste or flavor", developed. The noun relish then evolved to mean something that is added to a food to enhance the flavor, like a sauce. This sense was first recorded in the late 18th century.
