After conducting an interview, before I had a chance to write my review (which was customary, while it was fresh), I was sat down by someone more senior than me who said, explicitly "we are hiring this person." There was a "wink wink" dynamic to it. This person was pretty inexperienced, but a woman. This never happened with any of the male candidates. We hired her.
Unrelated, it turned out to be a horrible fit for her, because she went way out on a limb to move to the area and take the job, and the company shut down a few months later. She was now in an expensive city with no contacts or prospects.
- SiempreViernes 5y agoGetting a job and then immediately loosing it is obviously a bad fit for everyone, running the whole hiring process in the first place that close to folding seems pretty dishonest.
- daenz 5y agoI remember there was a conversation about this from some of the managers. It was basically, "we don't know if things will go south, so we need to operate as normal." It did definitely feel wrong.
