If you think about all the hours wasted on advertising roles that are for internal promotions (ghost jobs)
All the wasted hours for the companies just “going through the motions” as the job is for someone else
Not to mention the candidates that go into these BS interviews thinking they have a chance, just think about the mental toll there as well
Then there’s the places that are too scared to make a decision so they have candidates go through six/seven interview processes
Just so someone has met a KPI somewhere and a box has been ticked to say “yes we did that thing”
I really don’t get why there is so much time and energy ploughed into this risk aversion when, even after someone has got a job they’re then on probation for 6 months where they’re on two weeks notice (I’m from Europe)
Think about all the time that could be saved if the candidate is a good fit after one interview, bring them on, if they aren’t performing then there’s that two week notice to either turn stuff around or start looking for another candidate
