Why is it some companies make you reapply to a role when you’re towards the end of the interview process?

As a formality so your information is populated within their talent tracking system.

Might just be looking for more information from you to save time when you're onboarding. They probably have a good idea that you're going to be the one assuming the role especially if you're towards the end of the hiring process.

It had never happened to me. My only guess is that you are missing some information on the application and they want you to complete it.

We only do that if we're considering the candidate for a different role than they originally applied for. Just a formality, really.

I've never heard of this before. Did they give you a reason why? Or did they ask you to apply to a different role?

They just said they wanted me to complete my application but I don’t understand why because it was the same application and role that I used when I applied to the role.

I had this happen three times at different companies.

So I get that in a corporate set up, you are supposed to be sharp and witty and think on your feet. Trouble is, I am extremely slow with comebacks. (Think Ross in Friends/Amy in B99) at the crunch moment, I generally end up not being able to give a good roast back. Unfortunately the best of them come to me like a few hours later (dinner/shower/TV) and I am left ruing and amazing opportunity to have gotten one back. I am awful at jibes and roasts.

Anyone else suffer from this?
