Unironically recommended a friend as referral to my job. He was the only person applying, but the company has a policy of needing at least two candidates under consideration for any position.

So they called back another guy who had already been rejected, claimed he was in another round of interviews, used those interviews as the comparison, rejected him as unqualified, and then hired my friend.

Pure nonsense.

Yeah, I've worked for companies who's policy says there must be three people interviewed when almost every hire is an internal promotion.

I've got no fucking clue what I just read. This job market is a joke
