Why Are Companies Making You Do So Many Job Interviews Now

[Formerly Black Trash]

The hiring process is beyond antiquated and tedious.

I get on a call with the recruiter.

Then a HR screening person

Then either a dept staff interview or an executive team interview.

Then fill out the fukkin app on the website. Or before. Its ridiculous as this point.

I miss how it was during Covid
Should have carried over to be the standard

I'm in tech so it's expected to do three interviews, but for me personally I will do one remote, one technical interview in person and maybe a third interview if I feel I am getting an offer.

If I don't feel good after the second interview then I will refuse the third interview unless I can attend remotely.

I heard some bullshyt from a hiring manager one time "you sounded hesitant when we last spoke...."



I said "I'm in the parking lot ducking my manager and nosy ass coworkers to take that call, what you expect "

You too?!
They act brand new when you tell then you already working

Not uncommon in tech, but then again I understand when they're throwing around 100 - 200k salaries.

Also when you are a senior or higher. As you climb the ladder expect longer interviews

The job I got now, I got during covid and it was a 1 time phone interview. I bet if it wasnt the height of covid, it would be a few interviews in front of ppl looking like after every answer.

This. I got one call while making some runs, told them I had to pull over, he said cool I’ll wait lol. Talked to first person for 20 minutes then was told I’d get a second call. In less than an hour I got another call, what later I learned was from the head of the company. They legit got my address and sent me a company laptop and information before I was even officially onboarded. Trying to find a new job now has been shell shock. I’ve never in life had to go through all this for a position.

Had 3 positions that called me for 3 interviews each. Didn't get the positions but was a finalist each time. I still want my time back.

I been there....exhausting

People are getting and doing assignments like they’re in grade school again

Red flag on the play.

I learned long time ago don't go past two interviews. Anything else is a waste of time.

I actually haven't encountered many places that do more than one but I'm in finance so I think it's industry specific.

One thing I won't do is any type of assessments. I refuse to do any type of unpaid work. I had one job have the gall to have one that lasted 2 hours. I see this same position from Coalition Technologies open for the past three years now . I'm sure they filled it once or twice but that's a horrible look to have the same position advertised for multiple consecutive years

 

[jwonder]

Shoot, I had to go through 10 interviews not to mention do a project and present about a few years ago

Wtf kind of work do you do? Ain't no way in hell I'm doing that. I would've told them do go suck a dead man's dikk

I was in the whip for my interview too

Had to find a spot in the Kroger parking lot

A couple of years ago I did 4 rounds of interviews for a job and then they rejected me because they said that they felt like they still didn’t know enough about me

Aka “we don’t know how you’ll fit in with the culture” aka “get along with the other whites”

I had to do 4 interviews for an internal transfer early this year. Ended up leaving the company for a different job before hearing if I even got the transfer.

my girl got a job last year that made her do a 3 page assignment, and then before she was officially hired she had to do these security trainings, all in all it was about 4 hours of her time. She was desperate so she stayed quiet, i was on the sidelines like: you know they should be paying you for this right?

thanks for posting this. I subscribe to this YT channel as well and watched it yesterday.

like the video says, unless ur one of the big FAANG companies, you have no business pulling this bullshyt. it's just HR folks trying to justify their existence.
