But I have a story myself: A certain company that is probably in the top100 biggest of the world, one time attempted to hire me, but their hiring process was a mess and they forgot me in the middle.

Then I noticed they kept complaining on media about not finding anyone for that job. 2 YEARS later, after they posted another complaint, I decided to apply again, and even mentioned the previous hiring process.

The HR department said they were sorry, explained that the previous time it was a contractor and they were bad at their job and got fired. So I thought this time I would get hired.

Went through their entire process... and then HR sent me a sad letter, that the headquarters in the company home country, blocked my hire because it would violate policy.

The policy in question, is that for that job, people needed experience. But also, they needed a local. But... they were the first company offering that particular job in the country, ever. So you have this company trying to be the first company to hire for a particular job in the country, but wants someone with experience, complaining endlessy about it on the media. I felt bad for the employees that were dealing with that bullshit.

(the job in question was Game Producer, I have a bachelor degree for it, but back then this company was the only company in the country with such job opening. Some other game companies DID exist in the country but all of them imported producers from their other studios, so for example there was some french and canadian producers in the country)
