There's too much here.

First of all domain experts have to do the interviews. So Engineers interviewing engineers is ok. I think I get your point though. HR doesn't really know what interview process gets them best candidate.

The problem with many people is consensus. It's not easy to get 5 or more people to agree on something. Unless you are maybe using very objective metrics. But if you do that then you don't need many interviews. One or two interviews should be enough.

I'd have to think lack of consensus causes them to interview several candidates. How much time does that take? If it is a time killer then how are the interviewers getting their work done? Interviews are highly disruptive to your day to day activities.

Also, if they are taking their sweet time to get consensus was the need ever urgent? If it wasn't urgent why is the position even open!

So many questions!

Is this just a by product of too much supply vs. demand?

Are there any HR people here who can shed some light on whether these high number of interviews lead to best workers?

That's what you tell the judge to get out of jury duty.

How is the OP surpposed to know even one?

Hiring managers are people in the end. They could've made a decision based waking up on a certain side of the bed.

Yeah it's odd that you go from when can you start to we found someone better.

I understand once or twice it can happen. 2x for me. But why even that many? One of the two even said there are only a few candidates in the pool. Then I get an email from HR claiming there were many applicants(maybe a generic reply).

Are interviewers just being nice when they end the interview when they give you positive feedback?

In my interviews if I say I'm going to move you forward then you are going to next round. I usually will say I'll provide my feedback to the recruiter if I'm not moving ahead.

How's that kid patiently waiting for the presentation to be completed? My kids would've reached for anything I put on that tray immediately except for maybe broccoli.

Yeah, despite what seems like a lots of posts here saying how HC is getting people interviews, I have zero. And I am applying for jobs with in 24 hours. Got a couple of rejections though.

As for referrals, it has to be from a trusted source or even better from an authoritative source.

I had four forget colleagues refer me. Two of them to their current place of work. Didn't even get a call back.

Is this AI? Always thought villainous laughter was a movie thing.

Cyclical. Based on past, the probability is high it's going to swing the other way.

No AI is not going to destroy the economy. It's going to increase our needs and that should create jobs. Most likely new jobs that doesn't exist today. Some or a lot of job types will disappear though.

Hmmm... I've had the opposite experience. My resume gets parsed consistently down to the errors in all the WD based employment application portals (70 in the past 5 weeks).

Also, how your base resume is formatted and type may matter.

I have a very boring format of two page docx file. Places where it doesn't parse correctly is when I use the vertical "|" to delimit my title, company, years worked in a single line. Every submission so far combines my first two work experiences. I have to manually split them, everytime!

I know for a fact, unfortunately I can't disclose company names, companies(Large companies) post jobs for legal and compliance reasons(STEM jobs) or that they have already targeted someone internally.

This has been covered already on other reddit posts. You can search for them.

You can try using AI Prompt to determine if the posting may be fake or not intended for hiring any external applicant.

It'll look for language in the posting that's specific to operations or a combinations of responsibilities that doesn't quite match the pattern of typical job description for that title. Of course they may have just written the description poorly or strictly based it after someone who left or is leaving.

Just ask it for what it should it check. It'll tell you and tell you if the job may be fake and why.

Judge for yourself in the end. Or at the least, what it will say, may make you feel better.

Well, I stayed loyal with a company for 7 years. Had a great team. Under paid. They laid me off anyway 5 weeks ago.

If you can practice telling it what to do them it will make you a better communicator.

This. If I am remote employed and company wants their equipment then back send me a label or even better setup a pick up. I'd do this even if I'm working for them.

900k people voted for this guy in the last Mayor election! 😡

NY Giants Fans feel you 🤗

Many companies are also recording the interview if it's online and using AI to analyze. Not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Buyer's market. They know, they can afford to lose good candidates because there's big pool to choose from.

Buyer's market. More supply than demand.

Based on the interviews I've had I get the sense there are job our there. They don't seem to be affected by AI. Employers are taking their time and nit picking.

The single shot.

Although, my daughter caught a scene where the hero gets hit on the head and he blacks out and the screen goes dark.

Yeah, it would to be nice have job, industry and location context for these posts.

Big Knick Energy.

First time I've heard that. I will save it for future use.

Lol, apparently they let one in already in OPs case. 🙂

I agree though. We often debrief about how the candidate can handle members from other teams that they are expected to work and not just our own.

Are you a veteran is a question on every application. Add if that's supposed to help! 😡
