I was recently not hired at the University of New Hampshire. I greatly exceeded the "minimum qualifications" for a certain position. When I found out I wasn't hired, the department manager was dumb enough to admit that the person hired did not meet the minimum qualification (1 year + in related field). Without going into details, is there any action I can take against the University for violating thier own hiring procedure?
An excerpt of this procedure is:
"The position description should be representative of the major duties and will be the cornerstone of the recruitment process, which will result in the legal hiring of the most qualified applicant.
Hiring supervisors select the most suitable applicant based on objective analysis of applicants' credentials compared to the position description. "
To summarize my understanding, the University policy is to compare the qualifications of the applicant to the list of qualifications and base the hiring on this.
Lets "assume" momentarily that the University did not follow its own procedures... The person who did get the job did not have any mail processing experience... Would I have recourse?
