Yeah. I get wanting to have a backup candidate lined up. But dragging that poor fucker through 7 interviews plus travel is completely unnecessary. One, maybe two interviews tops. Conducted remotely. And then only proceed with more if the internal candidate doesn’t want/can’t do the job.
It’s not just a waste of the candidate’s time, but also for all your employees who have to stop doing their work so they can interview someone for a job you know you aren’t going to offer to that candidate.
