In reality, this role will go to one of the two candidates already named in this thread. The result of advertising externally? The internal candidates end up waiting an unnecessary amount of time for the confirmation they expected, an interview and hiring process, often involved several people has been conducted for no reason whatsoever, and at cost to the public, and (arguably the worst bit of all this) external candidates were led to believe they had a chance when they never did.
It’s more common than ever these days and genuinely quite frustrating for all parties.
Don’t get me started on the written test. This whole process is an example of weak leadership allowing HR to run the show. NEVER allow your people team to run these processes. They are there to support, not dictate. YOU are the expert, not them. Their expertise is in the wider recruitment process, onboarding and firing.
Nope, pretty sure I’m not missing a thing.
