Rejected internal job applicants are twice as likely to quit
After reading the article one thing that struck me was the &quot; internal candidates who were rejected after interviewing with the hiring manager were half as likely to exit as those rejected earlier in the process.&quot;<p>Working at a fortune 100 top 10 company I&#x27;ve applied for multiple higher level positions after 5 years and multiple high marks on my reviews and not gotten 1 recruiter call. I did get with one recruiter and he told me one of the positions was actually only posted for someone internally and they didn&#x27;t even interview anyone else. My resume looks good according to them its unclear why im being passed over. Ive not even gotten an interview and if i did i think i may feel like staying and trying to continue to pursue opportunities possibly.<p>Its essentially soured me on company though - they have all these &quot;raise my hand&quot; type crap saying i want to be considered as a viable candiate for opportunity. They have multiple manager tools to flag people for opportunity which my manager has done for me. Yet here i am - ready to move up - put my 5 years in doing excellent work - and left hung out to dry when I&#x27;m ready. So I&#x27;m on the verge of moving elsewhere and my boss being &quot;shocked&quot; I&#x27;m looking elsewhere and saying if I find anything else let him know and he&#x27;ll see what he can do - well that ship has sailed.
