The HR called me up to say my CV was short-listed and i was asked to be present for a F2F interview. In the technical round, the first thing the interviewer told me was that my profile did not match their requirements. The interviewer gave me a detailed description of the role, which was very different from what was actually posted on LinkedIN. The HR should have shared my CV with the concerned team or conducted a telephonic technical round, which would have saved all my effort and time that I invested for the F2F process. The HR never got back to me with a clarification. I now believe that, the HR in Novartis act like BPO services, with a focus on showing target/numbers, than handling the real recruitment process. It’s a pity that a firm like Novartis has such inefficient recruitment team.
