Interview
The hiring process at Oberoi Realty deserves its own case study. Not in excellence, but in how not to run recruitment.
The journey began when HR reached out through a job portal, followed by three interviews spread over three different days:
• Round 1 with HR
• Round 2 with the hiring manager
• Round 3 with the Head of Department
This entire saga stretched over almost three weeks, only to end with the announcement that the hiring was suddenly frozen because of 'budget constraints'. A disappointing but understandable conclusion.
Fast-forward three months. Out of the blue, HR reappears and wants to restart the process. This time skipping all earlier rounds and directly scheduling a 'final' round with the HR-Head & company MD. Interesting acceleration, I thought.
Just three days later, I was informed they now needed someone with 'more experience'.
It’s fascinating how this critical requirement appeared only after three interviews, a hiring freeze, three months of silence, and a final round with the HR-Head & company MD.
If efficiency had a blooper video, this process would be the opening scene.
A small suggestion: Before approaching candidates, please decide what you actually need. It’s an easy way to look professional and also a great way to avoid wasting leadership time on roles you aren’t even sure about.
Process was decent but no information about selection is given One should be informed if they are selected or not either on mail or a call so one doesn’t keep on waiting
