How are we sourcing Job Candidates???

I've served on the interview panels over last couple of yrs ... and during that entire period, we have not interviewed a single non-Indian candidate. The latest round of interviews followed exactly the same pattern.... How is it possible that not a single candidate from another demo group has made it to our interview panel??? I am in Consumer Tech...


Noncompete?

Anyone who has left or is currently interviewing. Any concerns about the non-compete? Does TR pursue that? I am not a high-level manager or anyone in product development(I have no real trade secrets) , just a sales rep. Just curious how aggressive they would be in pursuing it if I went to a competitor. I would not be selling to the exact same market.


Face to Face interviews and Documents

The tech hiring at Citi is flooded by rampant immigration fraud, and remote interviewing is completely enabling it.

Candidates are using AI, lip-syncing to cheat through screens, while others lie about holding Green Cards to secure interviews.

All Citi locations in Texas, Florida, the UK, Ireland, and India must stop falling for this 'known' scam. 😁

Automated tests like Karat are useless.

The fix is simple: mandate in-person interviews and demand "physical" passports, degrees, and H1B, H4 EAD, or OPT paperwork on-site. Put them in front of a physical whiteboard with a marker. Let’s see them show off their real "cooking skills". They will definitely get cooked. I bet most of the candidates do not even show up for the interviewa!


Thoughts about the Centene hiring process?

I'm interested in your thoughts about the Centene hiring process. Would it be frowned upon to email to ask the talent recruiter about feedback after the screening? I applied for the Utilization Review Clinician - Behavioral Health position. The following day, I was notified that I was under consideration and was invited to do the initial "screening interview" with the talent recruiter. I completed that yesterday - it couldn't have went any better. 🤷‍♀️ We had an amazing rapport & she was raving about how much behavioral health, medical detox, acute care/ER, and remote nursing experience I had. I've been a nurse for 12 years with my compact license and CCM credential. I have experience in the psych ER, working remotely as a RN BH care coach, and last 6 years remotely as a RN case manager with another insurance company for our most at risk Medicare/Medicaid members ( who have a lot of BH/financial barriers.) I just got an email saying that they are not moving forward with me due to "moving forward with other candidates whose qualifications better complement the needs of the business." The ONLY thing is that I haven't been a official UM RN yet, but I felt like I did a great job in promoting how I have transferable skills from all of my nursing background and reviewing charts as a case manager to have the critical thinking expertise needed to differentiate if patients meet medical criteria. 🤷‍♀️ did I dodge a bullet?


when outsourcing agency tries to sell you your old Cigna Job

(the post keep disappearing, hopefully it works this time)

This might be entertaining to some.

A friend of mine was interviewing for a new role and got asked 3 specific questions: why he left his previous job at Cigna, and if he still had a good relationship with them. Then interviewer asked why he thinks Cigna laid off a lot of people and the friend told them about HIH and how most Cigna IT jobs moved to India.

The interviewer explained that they were building a US-based team specifically for a Cigna client account, and he would need to interact with them regularly.

The funny part is, my friend’s skillset is highly niche, and Cigna only has one specific team that uses this tool. When the interviewer started laying out the specific systems he'd be maintaining, my friend casually replied, "Yeah, I was one of those who built those."

The agency was unknowingly trying to hire him back into the exact same team he had just left.

Anyone with similar experience. Is Cigna finally realizing their mistakes?


HR Pointless Interview Questions

Anybody else just feel like the interview questions are pointless and do not reflect the candidate properly? Why it is the HR questions are tick box exercises and not actually about the role. I got a question last week about diversity and inclusion... what the actual f**k?

Why not ask about the job and what experience i bring.. they wonder why all these companies lose good candidates to their stupid questions. I've literally had a 10 years old ask me more technical questions about my job than HR could ever...


To the HR community at major companies

Look at yourselves in the mirror. If you are actually real human beings, how do you look at your family after a day of destroying people's lives?
You are paid to run fake interviews, lie to honest applicants, and play with people's futures just to check a compliance box. Where is your guilt?

Where is your basic human morale? If you have even a shred of decency left inside you, stop being a coward. Stand up, refuse to do this dirty work, and expose this fraud. Change before you completely lose your humanity


Interview with a group of people

Is this something I'll have to deal with from now on? I haven't interviewed in a while, and the first interview I got after I started looking was online with more than 20 people. Took me a while to even realize what was going on and I left before it was my turn to speak. I know it's not professional, but I was in shock. Is this really how interviews work now?


Interviewing for a promotion

What kind of company makes you interview for a promotion.. Why should I have to interview for a company I already work for, for a promotion I deserve.. If the managers and higher ups can’t appreciate dedicated employees then why do we go above and beyond.. going forward they will get the bare minimum


Interview with a recruiter

I have an interview with a recruiter for an internal position I applied to. Any idea what they ask? I am guessing technical questions are reserved for an interview with the hiring manager. Also my application status still shows applications received despite recruiter sending me interview invite. Is this one of those fake positions?


Interview - Internal Position

I been applying for several internal positions, and today I finally got an interview. E13 to E14. How do I know they are not interviewing me just to show HR that they interviewed enough people before promoting their team member. This job posting looked legit. Posted for 15 days. Hiring manager has 5 direct reports and all of them are already E14

Half of this place is looking for a way out

Let's run the numbers: how many people are actively interviewing? How many are updating their resumes? How many would take the first decent offer that came their way? I'd bet my next paycheck it's north of 40%. That's not a workforce, that's a waiting room.


Integrated Services

A whole bunch of people in Integrated Services are being asked to interview for jobs. The implication being, if you don't find a job you are no longer employed.

You can argue about the value of Integrated Services, but this is a cr-ppy way to treat people. It is sad that the company is starting to use these tactics.

This is what happens when consultants with very little real people leadership experience get to run the show.


Just got benched, what now

Was told last week I'm benched. Part of Bridge. The insurance customer funding us dried up several months ago. Should I have started applying last week? I'm hopeful I can placed internally.

I haven't interview prepped in years. I heard the job market is seriously different than when they were handing out jobs like candy during COVID. how cooked am I?


Interview

Got a phone interview scheduled with another company for this Friday afternoon. The position is with a local oncology clinic. Starting pay pretty dang close to what I make now after ten years. I didn't take the VSP, and obviously haven't been notified if my position within EBOS is being cut as I guess that's supposed to happen within the next couple of weeks or so. But with all that going on in CC with seemingly no positive changes on the horizon, it might be wise for me to, in the famous words of Cobra Kai, "strike first." What do y'all think?
