Dear Ms. Divya Pradeep,
I second the discussion of our senior members (Sid, Anilji & Mr. Simhan) in this thread with their notion offered. Besides, most Companies do not treat the couple as induviduals in fear of complaints from other employees regarding special treatment for spouses [which is absolutely incorrect!]. In your case, your tenure with the company was held entirely accountable on your performance when you were single. Now since your spouse's unpredictable employment situation is bound with the same company, by employing you couple, companies can't control the risk of losing an employee due to a spouse's changing situation. That must be the only reason they turned back at you.
Although, My suggestion is try to speak with the concerned and know the decisive factor -- this not only helps you understand the disposition but also gives an inner balance to make your mind up in near future if they offer you again..!

Hello Ms.Sharmila,
I did speak to the HR to get a clarity on this issue and apparently me having to be employed in the HR department is what worked against me. Few in senior management felt that since HR ( read - the spouse) would have access to certain confidential info, it might not be a great idea to employ me. ( there is another couple working in the same Co.- though not as HR).They have seen my work, and when asked individually everybody in the management had only positive opinion to say of my work.
May be they are right in their way, but I feel I wasn''t given a chance to explain. Why did not the team think of all these when they contacted me initially and showed such an interest to have me back on board. I probably will never get an answer form them for this.

Dear Ms. Divya,
Obviously, you may not get an answer from 'em. Inspite of thinking, consent to your current situation proceed further. Many a time, it ain't not possible to be affirmative, therefore, look out for a job that is worthwhile to you and the employer.

Dear Divya,
I know few firms including Wipro , that believes in hiring couples. They see a greater stability in jobs and lower attrition.
Couple working in non-reporting opportunities is not uncommon , even without a preference for hiring them. At EDS, we had an HR Manager, whose wife worked as a developer. Ditto to many more.
Your case, is entirely a matter of choice by the decision makers. You have a proven track record.
You have already heard from the MD who is in good note with you. Keep in touch with him as your industry connect and seek feedback on this situation without sounding needy.
They opening up to you with the reason, itself shows the transparency within the firm. They could have easily cooked up something else. Value them and offer him your support even beyond the role.
Hoping to hear a positive result to this.
Regards,

Hello All,
Good Morning!
Thank you all seniors for your opinion and suggestions. I understand that it's futile in taking this any further and as Sid told, things have a way of working out for the better :)....
I respect their decision and concerns but just disappointed that I missed out on working with them again ( it also happens to be a place where I got to learn all the finer aspects of being an HR and has played a part in making me the person that I am today- professionally).
Nevertheless I am glad that I am in their good books and especially thank the HR Head of the Co. who showed utmost interest and believed in my capabilities.
Have a nice day!

Glad to hear from you. The attitude you have adopted will take you way further, than the role could have. Continue to build your rapport with the leaders. They can offer you guidance and recommendations to excel at your role.
I am connected to most of my leaders from different firms, I worked with. This is how we gain our foothold in the industry. As we progress in our careers, no matter how good our ex-employers are, we always cannot join them as what we want to do isn't what they can offer.
May the best role reach out for you !

Dear Divya,
It is purely based on Management decision, you can approach MD and if you succeeded dont take any recommendation towards your life partner, it may matter again. Since yr position is in HR, few objections will be raised by your colleagues within the department that you may influence for the growth of your life partner. HR department will maintain this formality "not to engage any relatives" within the same Company.

In this modern world, such practices of not employing the couples are being followed?? In my knowledge, many couples are working in various reputed organisations without any issues. Pity on them. Pon
