It was advertised and yes they were requirements in the job advert.

The fact that he lied to ensure I didnt apply is my problem, had he said the role I am doing now would be a better fit for me it would be different.
Anyway head down and continue to maintain a professional veneer.

"Almost"! And there were no applicants who actually met those three requirements? Very unlikely..

I don't know who applied but I do know that it would be very unlikely not to have any candidates meeting the requirements.

If that was the case, it would be usual to re-advertise.

I've had similar happen to me, it's annoying but ultimately I couldn't work for someone who operated in this way and moved to another team when I got the chance. Be thankful you work where you are appreciated and do well, there is no logic when men make these decisions on who they like the look of - HR know your reasons for not applying. They will know she doesn't have those criteria. Just don't do anything that will get you in bother. In 6 months you wont give a toss!

To be honest I'm flummoxed by this story and think there's more happened than we've been told about. It doesn't add up. Managers aren't responsible for initial vetting of applications, HR are. If candidates don't meet basic requirements they aren't forwarded to managers. Managers are rarely solely responsible for interviewing and hiring new appointments.

I don't know what organisation the OP works for, but it doesn't make any sense to me that one large enough to have a variety of HR personnel would have such a weak appointments system to allow this to happen. And I still don't understand how the OP saw the other employee's CV, unless people who had no right to see it were passing it around and gossping about it. In which case I do wish the OP would name her employer as I'd like to avoid ever applying for a job there.

How did you see the CV? a few of us would still like to know this.

He saves them to a folder so she can also read mine.
Loving the fact that I have seen her CV is the sticking point.
It has happened as told.

Thank you to all who read and offered the advice asked for (how to get over it)

Not a sticking point, more that a CV is highly confidential piece of personal information that should only be seen by certain people.

If your firm choses to ignore this fact then that possibly goes to explain why they also pay no regard over such matters as the way the roll was filled when you were shipped sideways..

Actually there not, lots of the companies I have worked at (Multi Nationals) have a central repository for CV's as it helps with Internal Recruitment.
The only sensitive data would be address details and that is removed.
