I had an experience where the company invited me to multiple rounds of interviews, including a final interview with the Head of Finance .I thought I had a good chance of getting the job, but then I received an email saying that they decided not to move forward because I didn't have enough local market experience and that the way things work in UAE and India are different than how it works in Ireland. This requirement was never mentioned before, A resume clearly states a candidate’s previous work history along with location details. In my case it took 3 months for me to reach the final round to reveal a deal-breaker that could have been addressed earlier. Both previous interviewers were aware about my job experience and location details and I was moved forward until the final round only to know that my application is rejected as I dont hold local Irish experience. This could have been dealt way earlier by simply rejecting my application during the preliminary screening round and not wasting a candidates time and effort to make them face trial interviews.
