As Director of Technology for one of the largest law firms in Las Vegas, when a help desk tech gave notice, I started interviewing, and found a sutiable candidate. I scheduled him to come back to meet with some other members of the firm (to get their input).
I was told by HR and the gal that is currently the Managing Director that I was not to waste anyone’s time with this candidate.
In 20 years of technical hiring, I’ve never seen a time whrn the hiring manager does not have control over who he hires.
I resigned, rather than have HR fill my team w/o me being the deciding voice, but has anyone ever seen such actions on HR’s part? The ‘HR’ person is really a legal administrator, she supervises secretarys and such and has no technical know how whatsoever.
