Dear Candidate - We appreciate sharing of your perspective of the interview process. Trust our response will bring greater clarity to the points you have raised. Given the detailed multi-level process put in place (which you have also shared), you can see that we take great care to select the best fit for our organization (irrespective of a campus or lateral hire). We believe this works best both for us as well as the employee hired in the long term. We ensure that utmost clarity is given on the job role so that people do not have inaccurate assumptions based on the company brand (eg: Start-up, Product company, etc). We make it a point to educate all candidates on the roles and responsibilities of that specific role before the testing process begins. This gives the candidates maximum information to decide if they see an alignment between their personal aspirations and our organization’s needs. When someone agrees to go ahead with the process and then at a later stage informs us that they actually would like to move onto a completely different role / department, you can see how the organization might not see this as the best investment of their time. At the same time, a candidate with clear but different aspirations is best suited to seek out that role rather than settle. In this case the selection decision was based on “incorrect fitment” and not “over qualification” as mentioned. We wish you the very best in a career that provides you with the challenges / learning that you seek. All the best, Thanks, Management
