It's scary how true this is. I know one manager who routinely rejects perfectly good candidates for making negligible mistakes in the interview. All on the grounds of "We have high standards!"
- fennecfoxen 6y agoIt sounds like the process works! … at preserving the candidate from your organization. :)
- castratikron 6y agoHaha. I worked at a place that did not start out as a software company but now had a software team (they built industrial machinery). The director of the electrical and software department was completely clueless of course. He insisted that since we are an engineering company, an engineering degree was required to work here. And that meant any candidate for a software engineering position was automatically rejected if they only had a computer science degree since it didn't have the word "engineering" in the title.
