An Experienced HR once told me she does it to get ideas from those interviewed. They seem to ask questions like "what will you do different to improve the role". Naija my country

Naija my country!

Some job post are for formality and based on labor requirement, the rightful candidate has already been selected.

I recently applied for a Business Analyst position and was asked to complete a task as part of the application process. I submitted the work in April, but haven't received any updates since then. Interestingly, I saw the same job posting on LinkedIn again, from the same company, which made me wonder if they're using this approach to get free work from applicants without intending to move forward with their applications. These tasks are clients brief....

RECTEM and their MASSIVE employment that year ...😕

Experienced this as a staff of a company, where I got to see my exact role being listed as a vacant one on a job listing website.

I couldn't ask the HR why but was scared. It became worst few days later when the lady directly below me came in to tell me the management called her to a meeting and had informed her of their plans to make her understudy me for three months before coming to announce her as my new Boss....Lol that's the craziest thing I heard


I couldn't walk up to the management or even the HR to confirm the news, and I know she's a over-ambitious person that's always eyed being my Boss


Well, before the end of that three months, I got a new and better offer and I left them....so she finally has the chance to boss them all in my absence.

Whether wetin she tell me na true or not, me no know till date but at least, we are all happy now

That is a very Dangerous fellow....
Thank God you got another Job

Survival is winning, companies does that because they think it aids their survival, you too should develop a survivor mindset.

Those old postpartum belly having human resource managers are all useless old women.

You see them employing young beautiful girls to work under them just so they can believe they too are still hip and beautiful

Those old cargos should be changed every 4 year max.

They are devoid of ideas after 4 years and the longer they remain they start playing corporate politics in the head office

Those old women whom every executive director has slept with , whose husband's are fathering other people's children should be changed every 4 years abeg .

Nonsense women whose dreams died in their youth but choose to remain as HR head for decades yet are as useless as a the P in psychology .

WOW,
Whats your Story?

this seems personal..

This is very common in Nigeria , especially Lagos , Abuja and Port Hartcourt.

You see your HR manager interviewing for a junior assistant for you because you had complained several times you need an assistant.

Then one week youth see lots of young people dressed up at the gate you ask the security man what are they here for he says oga them say na interview.

You go upstairs ask someone who works in the role and she says they are interviewing an assistant to join your team you excitedly rush to your office and tell the rest of your team the good news.

Two weeks after the interview turns to two months and you don't see any news face join your team .



Human resources vertical in Nigeria is very dishonest.

Forget all the noise they make online and on LinkedIn.

They are a group of over aged single mums and frustrated dishonest people.


They have WhatsApp groups where they share these dishonest tips with each other.

This man. You just hit the nail on the head, especially the last 3 paragraphs.

Interesting article.

It rather too petty for big organizations to engage in this shady activity.
