I’m not interested in discussing hiring practices here, but I’ve noticed that TD obviously has a lot of problems with hiring. Someone told me that there are cases when the company is officially hiring and has advertised open positions for some jobs, but those positions are not being filled at all?
If this is true, why advertise these positions if they have no intention of hiring anyone for those positions? Or maybe they really can't find suitable candidates for those positions for so long?
I find it amusing that all comments that are negative about TD get upvoted and anything remotely positive gets downvoted regardless of how insightful. The most downvoted comments on this thread were actually insightful but the bitterness wouldn't allow you guys to upvote. Come on guys.. be somewhat objective.
I just posted in the previous thread, but Engineering continues to hire at a furious pace - promoting from within, and hiring externally.
Regarding the question around opening external roles when there is an intent to hire an internal candidate- this generally not accurate. Broadly, for new roles that are opened (not normal promotions), the opportunity should be made available for internal candidates, versus automatically sliding a person into the role, or opening the role for external hires. For this reason, we generally open roles internally to all employees, prior to opening them externally. Again, this is broadly accurate, but there are a number of nuances and location specific laws.
My team added 15 new roles last quarter and all got filled very quickly. I think all were filled within a few weeks from memory. I suspect other roles not being filled are quite hard to find the right candidate that is capable.
I don't know if TD is doing this, but I do know a company has to post a role publicly by law and make an effort to find outside talent - even if they're planning to hire from within. I have NO idea why this is, maybe someone with an HR background on this thread can chime in? From personal experience, to go rounds and rounds of interviews only to be told they opted to go with someone in-house is sh---y.
i have seen many offers being sent , anyone decent is not choosing teradata
The offers are going to the candidates that check all the right diversity boxes. Problem is there are more woke tech companies competing for those candidates than there are candidates.
