Do companies mandate HMs to interview x number of candidates before extending an offer? For SLA purposes. I had an interview with Amzn, phone screen with HM, but position was filled before my interview, and the actual interview was superficial, was super brief and HM didnt care about my background. I got no inclined 2days later, its unfair for candidates to be a statistics when HM was keen on hiring their own relative for a job. Am i overthinking? I am irked by this experience.

If you didn't get it you didn't get it. Who cares why? Let it go. I doubt you were not even considered but given in interview. Because as a business, I lovvvvve spending time and resources on something I KNOW isn't going to produce a return, love it, would do it every day if I could. Sorry for the news flash that businesses do waste money but ... mostly try NOT tooooooo so they can... STAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY in business. You're not a considered candidate? More times than not.... not going to even bother talking to you, point blank. So... you're most likely over thinking it.

Not at the company I work for

We definitely don’t mandate a certain number. It’s possible that you were in consideration but then someone who interviewed a bit before you knocked it out of the park and became the preferred candidate. Too late to cancel your interview but…
As a HM I try really hard to keep each interview separate, but we are as human as everyone else and if an amazing candidate came in it would be tougher for follow-ons to impress.

I’m not sure either.

Also how do you know they hired their own relative?

Its a hyperbole. It’s prolly someone they offered the job for, i dont get why they even interviewed me if i am not even being considered.

Cynically, it could be that they’re mandated to interview a set of “diverse” applicants before they can fill a position. Would that apply to you (I.e. are you a POC, disabled, a veteran, etc.)?

Wells Fargo got in trouble for that recently: https://www.reuters.com/legal/wells-fargo-must-face-lawsuit-over-sham-job-interviews-2024-07-29/

It does apply to me, so could be the case, my interviewer was a dei hire himself, amazon is majority poc.

Funny thing is, my recruiter haggled with me about tc expectations, basically low balling me, even tho i told her, let me first talk to the HM and learn about the expectations for the role. Amazon has a cooldown period if you get a not inclined feedback, thats why it pissed me off since the interview was unfair and now all other HM will see that bs feedback.

What makes you ghost a candidate?

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms. Definitely not ready to go back to that….
