Remember hr staff are just traffic wardens, reincarnated!!!

As one of societies dregs put it to me, "first we look after our interests, then the companies, then the customers". When I asked what about the employees? She laughed and said "who???"

That pretty much sums it up for me....... 6 months later she was made redundant.

Companies have nobody to blame but themselves - HR departments are given an exaggerated view of their own self-importance by some bizarre and rather lazy company policies, such as involving HR in the interview process for new recruits.

I am please that I now work for a firm who allow the particular business line to do its own interviewing, and only get HR involved when a suitable applicant has been identified, and the paperwork, offer letter, etc, need to be done.

It also works the other way round - if you are a job seeker, insist on meeting the department you will be working for, not HR (they won't know anything about the department's particular skill requirements). And HR's job, of course, is to filter you out, not bring you in.

Surely not Two Weeks? - It must be 'Fifteen Days - Isn't It!'

Just be doing one thing, today afternoon. Revert to HR asking them to be 'Doing the Needful!'

Pleased to see this thread.

A well run HR team are incredibly useful, especially when the main people understand a business unit properly.

Anything other than that and they may as well be a collection of corpses in an office.

I have a guy waiting to start a job, he was interviewed in late April and they are just about to get the paperwork finalised for his confirmed, written offer. Oh, and it's urgent...
