And they can’t even get rid of him if they made the wrong choice.
Jesus, yes.
My team hired a newbie last summer. He went through three interviews AND THEN a group interview with the whole team. My boss tried to put in an ‘assessment’ but it didn’t clear corporate HR, so we couldn’t actually use it in this round of hiring.
Eight years ago I went through two rounds of interviews, though the second was with three different people in the firm. There was no group back then, and therefore, no group interview.
It’s absolutely insane the hoops people have to jump through these days.
For what it’s worth though, the Pope is already a senior “employee” while that 2 days of voting is taking place. It’s more like a board meeting to appoint a new CEO from the board rather than having an applications process.
If you want to go down a rabbit hole, Papal elections is as crazy as anything.
But realistically, Francis was ill for a while, and in 2025 the participants have full access to each other. They’d probably been discussing it for months before the actual conclave.
No it doesn’t.
The first million rounds have already taken place before the 2 day clock starts.
All the remaining viable candidates are all present in the same room and not allowed to leave the building until a result is achieved.
Before the 2 day clock starts, everyone has already decided who they will support. The only thing they need to do is to acknowledge which candidates can not achieve majority support and re-allocate their votes accordingly.
The pope was elected in 5 votes though.
Its not really a hire, its a promotion that people have been campaigning for for years.
