One of my funniest is when I worked for Accenture. We had a young lad in as a contractor. Very clever, very technical, knew his stuff and was excellent at the job. The bosses decided to ask him if he would like to go permie. As he'd only gone contracting due to being made redundant from his last job he thought about it and decided to accept. Oh, you need to just go through the formalities with HR they said.

So a 2 hour telephone interview later where they didn't even ask him a single technical Q they told him he wasn't suitable! As it was HR there was nothing our bosses could do.
