The classic recruitment story that I must have heard so many times before (luckily, very rare from the clients we work with!).

Is there anything more frustrating than if you are looking for work, go through a process, only to receive this feedback?

Why does it continue to happen?

Surely you should look internally BEFORE going external?

Let me know your thoughts and experiences.

It seems simple to prevent this from happening, but it is a common story I hear from candidates when speaking to them about where they are with jobs etc.
