Questionable Hiring

This company has become so toxic. I am an internal candidate applying to do what I went to graduate school for and have over a decade of experience doing the tasks at the company. I have mentors very high up in the department. I reached out to the hiring manager when I applied and she wanted to interview me. 2 months went by under “pending further review.” I get my denial today stating I was qualified but they went with someone else. I email the manager asking for polite feedback. I never got the interview I was promised. When I asked for feedback? I got no response. Completely unprofessional.

What has happened? Is this just nepotism? I don’t think I want to work for a company that has such toxic hiring practices. This is just across the board. For every position you apply you get treated like trash, regardless of how many years you have with the company. It’s absolutely outrageous that we treat our internal candidates like this.

This just stiffens my resolve to leave this backwards company. So much for over a decade wasted at this company.

I’ve experienced this too. Hiring managers will only give a position to a candidate they already identified, not thru the posting process. I got lucky and landed my internal role from a recommendation by a senior manager. I didn’t even have to interview! They described the role to me and I said Yes. I was getting desperate and magically this all worked out. My only advice is to be the best in your role and let others know you are seeking your next move. Your reputation could land you a role. Best of luck,

One of the worst companies to move up internally if you aren't friends with the hiring managers good luck. Also fsame can be said about applying externally too. With ai screening of resumes you will get a rejection email less than 24 hours of applying.

Eenie meenie miney mo. That's how they choose candidates now.

If they view you as a low caste then you are a lost cause.

If you are in there supposed caste you are good cough cough Indian.

Not all are like that but those who are fair are also treated like low caste.

Why would anyone want to move internally when the real money is externally? Chances are they found someone that cost them less than you. Don’t take it personally as it’s happened to me a few times as well. Funny thing is, they still come to me for help.

FACT: if you want a promotion or a different job area (or both) - quit this bank and go for a competitor! You will get far more money, and likely a far better platform that runs much smoother.

@OP this is typical.

Nothing matters if the manager likes the candidates caste. The bank is getting worse. First, they should fire all upper caste contractors. They contaminating the work places.

I feel the same way- Could not go anywhere in the company.
I applied to varying roles throughout my career here and received the same decline emails.
I gave up on ever moving up within the company.

Always remember this every two years

Real world.

Job openings must be posted to give all an opportunity to bid.

Most (not all) have a candidate identified already. So 1 of 2 things happened.

1) Budget for that position was eliminated.
2) Or A candidate was already identified that fit EVERY criteria and this was simply a process.

But dont stop bidding.
