(continued) this saga continues  > asked to help vet new hires from india with 2nd stage interview > first batch of candidates, resumes look ok if bland > already "vetted" by india hr / recruiters and india team lead with pre / 1st stage interview > start interview > indian senior manager is also with me, and one of the rare competent people in the company > each step seems rather strange - indian senior manager goes through a rigorous set of id checks to verify the candidate is who they say they are > apparently its common for indians to just outsource the interview process to a paid actor so you will end up with someone who actually has no idea what theyre doing joining a job that requires specific skills & competencies > 1st candidate is barely understandable, seems to be reading from a script, looking over shoulder and behind camera, collapses and dies as soon as they get hit with any real questions, no idea what the job is about > 2nd candidate seems promising but again doesnt really seem to know what the job is about, when we ask them to write an example email update for the scenario they actually send us something completely irrelevant that seems to be for their current employer "dxc servers unavailable, server glkms001v down" > 3rd candidate, really good, seems promising. get to actual scenario of "x service stops working, what's your first point of call?" and they just end up going in circles with no idea what to do > 4th candidate - actually good, passes scenario with flying colours, rare case of brilliance, accepts job offer.... then no-show on starting day > ask the indian senior manager why they would accept a job if they arent going to turn up > apparently it is also common for indians to accept multiple job offers at once and then fuck off to whichever they like the most > consider all of the incompetent indian staff and maangers that ive met
