Hey Johari window, please tell HR about their Doglapan Spot! -Why do Job Ads suffer from colonial era hallucinations?
Schneider Electric, a French MNC, has a business presence in 100+ countries. With 135K+ people globally, across diverse businesses, it clocks in at €35 billion in the top line. They have been in India since 1963 (yes, that old). Not just that, they have penetrated up to 500 cities and towns in India. We have 30+ manufacturing plants and employ 37K people.
What's the point?
I looked at their job postings for HRBP on LI, and they are actively hiring for this mid-senior role in some US locations, the Netherlands, France, China, and India too.
What's the point?
All JDs are similar but very different in the way they portray the role and the company! Confused?
Let me explain:
US and EU jobs, even China Job follows EEO Equal Opportunity Employer) norms as legal guidelines for employment in their countries as legislated by the state! But same is not true for Job Ad for India.
What's EEO?
EEO is the grandma of DEIB! Let me clarify: DEIB is rooted in the EEO but just that, it got baptized by Woke in the Obama era! US job ads present this role as real as it should be for an "outsider" candidate. No internal jargons and such bells and festoons. Indian JD is full of internal terminologies, viz, Tejas, Ojas, Champions club etc. SWILP, TSL, etc
ETZ, ZTS, etc...I hear your frustrations!
US and EU and China Job post carry lots of respect for the role, while in India job post, it looks like , a tailor master, sizing the candidate up against the strictly "made to measure" BS! 36-24-36 wala inchi tape measure...Or, na 19 se kam ho na 21 se jyada, song by Kumar Sanu kind of North Korean restrictions!
Irony is that HR was created to unshackle and unleash talent, push boundries, remove biases and artificial barriers but Job details and so the whole hiring process succumbs to this Doglapan!

US, EU and China Job posts provide company information, financial and growth data, other key updates on recent acquisitions, merger, etc. BUT India Job post denies it! Slavery is a mental state. Unfortunately, these 100% captive and Indian subsidiaries too behave like a colony!
Grow Up!
Note: Schneider Electric is just a sample case. Things are same for most older GCCs in India...Hammam me sabhi nange hain.
