I heard nothing but now I have been invited to a meeting in a couple of weeks.
Now this is great but I just want some advice, ethically from a HR point of view can someone just be created a job and offered it at a meeting?
I guess im just curious and excited to see what the meetings about......but ive not heard of this being done before.
Any opinions of experiences of this? of guesses of what this could be about?
Hr professionals views?
Thanks people  |
First, well done, you must have impressed them.
Creating positions to move somebody internally is not unheard of, especially when there are head count reductions. Gone are the days of last in first out, any company worth their salt will want to keep the best performers. So having a job created to bring somebody in shouldn't be an issue.
I don't think there is any ethical problem here, your face fits, the company recognise this, and they want you to have a foot in the door.
