Pathetic interview with "Mahesh Saha" , Sr manager/director @ HCL - USA

I recently had a very frustrating experience with an individual named Mahesh Saha, who, to my understanding, holds a high position at HCL and is based in the USA. He canceled my interview not once, not twice, but three times. On the third occasion, I specifically asked the recruiter an hour before the scheduled time to confirm with him if the interview was still on, so I wouldn't waste my time preparing and adjusting my schedule, including missing my gym & sports session. The recruiter assured me that the interview would proceed as planned. So, I prepared, made sure to be home on time, and logged into my laptop, only to find out he had canceled yet again at sharp interview time. It's incredibly frustrating to see such unprofessional behavior. It seems some individuals, just because they hold higher positions, feel entitled to disregard other people's time. It's disappointing to encounter this kind of attitude, which is more reminiscent of a bureaucratic mindset than what one would expect from a leading private organization. Is this truly the culture at HCL?

Most hiring managers can't handle the start, close or even manage the middle of an interview - even if their life depended on it.

There I said it. It sucks. The start is a joke - cause here's the plan - If you spend too much time on intros, and you wasting the so called "interview" time. And then you think I should save it for later, lets focus on the interview. so we move to the stinky middle - the interview part - a web of questions with the obvious non relevant ones in there - and for a fact you will still give a green light to folks by a measure of retention of knowledge, not by knowledge application - cause you give hints to solve the problem sparingly. Here's the fact about your measure of potential - Take away Google and ChatGPT from these managers, and more than half your team would crumble. Wouldn't they use it on everyday job? If yes, then why are you depriving them of it in the interview. You will ego battle them - Not answering most of their questions - cause you are not interviewing - you are an interviewer - and they are the interviewee.. or you will conveniently park the questions for later, until a hiring decision is formally made - so you save your time - I mean cmon! thats your game plan. And the closing: it’s usually a weak handshake or a sign off and a 'We’ll be in touch' OR 'HR will get back to you' CLASSIC. And yet.. you expect the job seekers to buy into their 'mission and vision' and become dedicated team member to "your" team. Seriously? CONVERSATION has a CON in it and you are doing it. + you cant hold it, even if your life depended on it. The only reason the job seeker turned up, and thanked you for your time after the interview - is cause they need a job and were polite. NOTHING ELSE. In a rare case - you really did a good job, and hence the "thank you" Podcast here - https://lnkd.in/gMe6v9hV
