Dear All
One of my friend who got 6+ yrs of exp as Generalist. Recently he is looking for a job change. Meantime he got an interview call from Big Multinational FMCG, he attended and clear two levels of interview and HR head was satisfied and he told my friend got selected. All of sudden the recruiter as usual told will get back to u shortly. After 2 weeks continuous follow up, recruiter is saying position is on hold and she told discussion is going on whether to create the position or not.
Hope many seniors are here, I wanted to know
1. Without seeing the next year budget / strategic plan why they are calling the candidate for interview?
2. Whether it is right or wrong on the point of the company? Y they are not having Ethics?
3. Now days they are saying position is hold or rather they are not giving the proper interview feedback. Why people behave like this to the candidate who are seeking the job?
Regards

Dear SAM,
You never know what is going on internal side of the company.May be either HR there is being suppressed by the higher management to not to continue the selection process.
Else,the position may have filled internally through reference.Else may be actually the position is on hold.
Rest,Ethics are actually hard to be followed in today's Corporate Culture.HR team is itself helpless in giving the candidate such response as per the company politics as they need to follow it as per company's perspective.
Sometimes the vacancy arises all of a sudden and position closes too all of a sudden then reasons may be that they have not realised the budget actually or now may be candidate is no more required.
Its good enough that before hand company has informed so else your friend could have suffered once he would have resigned and joined.
In the end,Whatever happens happens for one of the best reason.

Dear Sam,
These kind of cases have happened earlier also and in this forum members have expressed their frustration.
Tell your friend to take this incident in his stride and start applying somewhere else. Finally, where he is destined to work, he will work.
As far as professionalism and ethics are concerned, these are more talked about, and articles are shared through forums like this and not necessarily implemented. This is what we are. Without this India would have become super power long ago.

Dear Dinesh & Divakar I agree with your points. But I wanted to know why these people are calling the candidate for the interview and waste their time. Thanks for your replies. Regards SAM

Dear Sam

Please don't take this issue so much on heart, this are inevitable situations which happen, not under the control of HR nor the candidate,

No one is wasting time, your friend was called for interview and was given feedback as applicable then. Something must have happened in the company due to which position went on hold or closed, watever. No one foresees future and decides what to do and what not to do. We live in dynamic and uncertain economies.

Many a times candidates also take the offer and reject before joining, there are many forums here you can read, our young in-demand minds seeking opinions on declining offers etc etc, isnt that unfair to companies and HRs, arent thier time wasted by the candidates. So my Friend as the famous saying goes "there is a slip between the cup and the lip" and "all fingers are not same"

See the positive side, your friends learnt somethings from the interview, another experience of having faced interview is good for confidence.

In the end, your friend will get a job where he is destined and most suitable.

Best Wishes
