Jammu & Kashmir Bank / J&k Bank — Unethical recruitment process

Address: Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, 190001

Website: www.jkbfsl.com

This communication is regarding the recruitment program that happened recently for various positions including that for MD, CFO, CS, etc. for ‘JKB Financial Services Ltd.’ (Wholly Owned Subsidiary of J&K Bank Ltd.).
I, as an eligible candidate, had also applied for one of the roles the time when the notifications went public for recruitment purpose.
Fortunately enough, after 4 months, I had been shortlisted for the interview (to have happened on May 24, 2017 at J&K Bank’s Headquarters, Srinagar), and same had been intimated to me (via email and discussion with the Coordinators, Irfan & Parvez, without specifying the Position & Role) just 3 days before the interview.
Now, since, I have been based out of Bangalore; I asked the Coordinators, if other modes of interview (Telephonic/Skype/Webex, etc.) were possible, if not, then they could let me know at the earliest so that I can plan fly to Srinagar to attend the interview.
After repeated follow ups through calls & emails, no one turned up confirming me upon the interview process, and the worst part is that the coordinators (Irfan & Parvez) called me on interview date itself (May 24, 2017, 6:30pm) asking me why didn’t I attend the interview and this was the time I was confirmed about the roles/positions which the Organization was hiring for, and excusing for not confirming me upon previous queries. I am not sure whether it was a deliberate attempt to avoid few candidates for attending the interview, but I am absolutely sure that the prevailing Industry laws & polices would not encourage such Recruitment Processes at Public level.
I have around 6 years of International (US, UK Investment) Banking experience in Capital markets/Compliance and haven’t experienced such a poor Recruitment process in terms of communication & consideration for candidatures.
Now, the most I can do is to request if this case would be looked upon seriously to prevent certain Banking/Industrial laws from being diluted with Poor & unethical alterations.

Thank You,
Sajid Bhatt.
