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.

Does anyone else just not even want to be a people manager anymore?! The amount of work this is taking, I’m just so over it. In addition to them piling on my work (which is a full time job) the people management stuff is just as much a full time job that no one in management seems to take into account. I have tried countless times to explain this but I end up burnt out, everyone suffers including me. I just left one role bc of it and now this new role, same thing. I’m over it.
