I just have the need to bitch a little about HR. I don't know if they are generally incompetent, under extreme pressure or can't meet expectations but I feel let down again this week. I had a good chat late yesterday afternoon with an HR person. She just received a mandate on Monday to hire three people under a tight time frame. They were shortlisting candidates by yesterday evening, interviewing Friday, making offers on Tuesday so a start date of the 14th. I was one of the last to chat with them during the shortlisting and was told that they have a meeting 30 minutes after my call to put together their plan. They were supposed to contact people on Wednesday evening to set up interviews for Friday.
I did not hear anything on Wednesday evening and I didn't think much of it as I could understand a bit of a delay and for them to contact people today. I waited until the late morning for an email and nothing came so I emailed asking for an update. Nothing for the rest of the afternoon. It is really frustrating especially when the HR person outlines their entire process and timing and makes a commitment to contact you one way or the other and nothing actually happens.
