Drama Of Recruiting(5-Dec-2017)



One guy left the job. HOD decided to hire his old colleague 'X' for that position. But he had no option but to "follow the process" of that MNC.

Replacement position was raised,6 candidates were called, all came for an Interview, 3 individuals came twice before X was finally recruited.

No reimbursement was given to anyone Except 'X' & BTW no feedback was given to remaining 6.

Following were the reasons(for Internal use) for rejections

Candidate 1- Not from relevant Industry (His company name was given on his CV clearly)

2- Higher Salary (First Thing asked in the first Conversation was his Salary)

3 - Had no relevant Functional Experience (First telephonic conversation was about his Experience and Job Profile)

4 - Over Qualified (His Education and Experience made him Overqualified, though these were also mentioned in his CV from 1st Day)

5- So many job changes in last 3 years( Already mentioned in CV)

6 - Currently Not working ( Obviously this was the first thing he told to HR)

On an average, each individual spent 1000 Rs to attend this Interview plus 1 Day off, 3 Candidates spent twice. This was for the position where joiner was pre-decided.

P.S - Feeling ashamed and regretting would be enough if you also have hired X ever.
