Where I work, there seems to be this HR policy that every job that becomes available should be advertised. This is DESPITE management already having found an internal candidate to fill that role.
I am sure this wastes a lot of candidates' time who send in their CVs, etc. - they even interview them to see whether some have potential. But 99.9% of the time, they go with the pre-selected candidate.
Why is this? It baffles me a little. Why not just go with the internal candidate and NOT participate in the charade? I find it a bit of a joke, really.
Is there some legal guideline of having to make a position "available to anyone"?
