Talked to a few hiring managers on Friday and they all echoed the same thing , the last few weeks were the toughest they’ve ever had to maneuver. Every open position was flooded with applications . multiple leaders recommending and putting referees for their own people , non stop calls and emails for referrals all against a deadline to hire before the end of May. Managers were grinding through 8 to 10 interviews a day, trying to balance candidate situations like urgent visa situations and ongoing medical treatments. So people who found internal roles during this time was due to strongest leadership push rather than the best skills. glad May is wrapped up so everyone can take a breath and move on. I am sure there is better way to do this ..

I saw one that was demoted after being a vp for several years. Wait until his LEAP class gets wind of that. He needed to be knocked down a few pegs so there's that - a wunderkid no more. Sad
@aa Are you new to the company? Look around, this has been happening for years.
I know some that actually took a lower level position just to keep working here.
@aa they definitely did . Know few folks in that situation
So urgent visa issues took precedent over qualifications, knowledge and skill? Sounds about right 🙄
