I actually was contacted by their corporate recruiter to apply. If I was send a resume-which I did. He responded a few days later & asked me to “apply” online so that we could “have a conversation” which I was glad to do. Included with my resume was a brief cover letter addressing the depth of experience I had in unionized manufacturing, facilities, two at flagship sites. Yadi Yadi.
1 month later, I get a “we’re not moving forward with you candidacy but feel free to apply again”. Why ask someone to apply when you have zero intentions to actually talk to them? You’re hiring a professional not a resume.
I can only conclude this HR team has some challenges ahead. Grant it, nobody wants to make a bad hire however keeping a key position open for 6 months only creates more scrutiny with headcount. Rainbows & unicorns only exist in a world we all wish existed. .
God bless your site leadership & I hope you support your organization with the sense of urgency they deserve.
