I applied for an Oracle developer position in Accenture (UK), on the 28th of Dec 2010. Two days later, I received a phone call from a HR representative saying Accenture would like to schedule a HR interview with me. We scheduled it for the 5th of Jan 2011. The interview basically followed a template and my answers were typed in as I gave them. We went over my CV first, followed by some basic behavioral scenario based questions. I was then told I would receive an email within the next few working days. On the 8th of Jan, I received an email from IKM (I believe a third party assessment partner) with a link to take an online assessment. Now note, the job specification/technical skills required were clearly listed in the job advert. The technical skills required for this role were Oracle PL/SQL, data warehousing, analytical functions, Oracle partitioning, referential integrity concepts/implementations etc. There was NO mention of Oracle Forms and Reports. So lo and behold! I was completely taken aback when I started getting question after question from Forms and Reports! I thought there must've been some mistake since I was a Oracle PL/SQL developer, I didn't know Forms and Reports and I had already listed all my skills clearly in my CV and repeated it over the phone during the HR interview as well. I wrote back to Accenture asking about this but didn't get a response. A few days later I just received an auto generated email saying "following careful consideration, we're unable to make you an offer of employment." I say automation in the hiring process is great! but Accenture really needs to check theirs.
