So today myself and another Manager attended a Manager's meeting. There was a young lady there that interviewed with us in September. She had really good experience and seemed a lovely lady but she fell apart in the interview. Really nervous and didn't answer the questions well. In fairness we didn't try our hardest to help her in anyway and we just brought the interview to a swift end after realising she wasn't of the standard required. When we called to reject her we explained that we didn't feel she had proven her competence and we hadn't seen evidence that she could complete the job. We then gave the job to a candidate who excelled in interview.
At the meeting the young lady was there. Our Manager congratulated her on her 'new job' and asked her to explain how she got this new position. She explained that she interviewed with us and was unsuccessful but the person chosen failed their probation so she was offered the chance to re apply and she interviewed the best on the day and was offered the role. She explained that she was delighted to be offered the position.
Our Manager then said 'the job went to the right person in the end' and ' I bet you're as smug as a bug today aren't you'. The young lady then said 'Not going to lie I am' and laughed.
The Manager than told her to 'Enjoy every minute' and she hopes 'two people in this room are eating humble pie this morning'.
She did rubbish in the interview. How is that our faul? AIBU to think this whole exchange was rather rude?
