So so stupid, especially since United was a lot of these guys dream job.
What is the unions take on the Hogan? It sounded like they are not a fan of this at all. They aren’t stupid and they have to know that for every applicant United rejects, with the Hogan, practically all end up at your legacy counterparts/competition.
If they want to use the Hogan, so be it, but I feel United is really doing a disservice by not at least interviewing these guys face-to-face. There are tons of great people who would be terrific that they are missing out on.
My sense is the Hogan is a way for HR to thin the applicant field to make their decision easier about who to bring in for an interview. Though I (thankfully) never had to take it, I couldn't agree more that it sounds like BS. If the applicant field thins to the point where qualifications alone will limit the field of applicants, I think the Hogan might get thrown out.
