I fully agree. HR departments are a particular bug-bear of mine. Instead of getting the best people for the job, they're far too interested in keeping motivated, strong people out of organizations. I see this every single day. Qualified, intelligent people never get a callback because the HR person said, "I dunno, I just didn't get a feeling that he/she would work out."
If, for instance, an accountant said, "I dunno, I feel that the balance sheet is OK but I haven't actually done the calculations yet," or an engineer said, "I feel the structural integrity of the bridge will be alright but I don't have any evidence for it," they'd be fired so fast it would make their head spin.
But for some reason, organizations large and small let HR departments get away with this sh!t.
yea, it pi$$es me off
