Very difficult getting any traction here. Worked initially with HR rep, and had to convince him that my current position (very similar to the intended role) was sufficient qualification for the next round in the hiring process, which ultimately required multiple discussions, emails, and a written briefing. Finally led to being referred to division manager for discussion. Multiple weeks and an in-house referral from another employee before finally reaching for phone discussion. This went well enough to lead to an informal in-person meeting and discussion. This then led to a phone conference with another senior level employee for another opinion, which also went well. All seemed to be going quite well given all the time invested by multiple parties. Then out of the blue received a form email from the original HR rep with a rejection. After having spent (4) months developing this effort with serious time spent on my part, it was pretty unprofessional in my opinion that nothing more than a nondescript form email without any actual explanation was the end result.
