I have recently been heading a recruitment for a Night Op's Manager for the firm I work for (Global Logistics Company, no not DHL :p) and I got quite a lot of applications. Some really good ones too. I managed to narrow that down to 15 first stage interview candidates. All of which were invited and all of them responded saying they were looking forward to the interview etc.

I was happily on my merry way and was confident that I would be a little spoilt for choice come first interview time.

So here I am sat after the interview's and only 3 out of 15 bothered to show up. A couple cancelled by email literally minutes from their allocated start times and the rest just no showed.

Slightly miffed as I have put time and effort into getting to this stage and now need to start again.

@Mods - apologies, put this in the wrong sub-forum can you more to C&P please?
 
The 3 that did turn up were not really fit for purpose, so the need to start again.

It was laid out that it would be a 2 stage interview. I must admit I would be less interested in moving if I had to go through a several stage interview but then again I am happy in my current role. I suppose with 15 I wanted the best chance of finding quality.
