Not as described at interview - Anonymous employee Smith+Nephew Employee Review

I left this job during my probation period as quite frankly I was shocked at the difference between the company as portrayed in the recruitment process and reality. -I was approached by a Recruitment Consultant on behalf of S & N for a role with one job title. When the job offer e-mail came it had a different job title. When the confirmation letter came it had a third job title. I asked the Recruitment Consultant why the different titles and was told S & N had made a mistake. No they hadnt. On my first day I asked the recruiting manager and she advised that as they had had such difficulty in filling the role, HR had advised to advertise under different job titles to see if people would apply, presumably without realising which job they were applying for. -Still on my first day, I opened my allotted desk to find it full of the possesions of an employee. When I asked whose these were I was told that they belonged to 'one of your predecessors'. The manager admitted that if she had known they were there she would have removed them so I would have been non the wiser. -On my second day I found a note to a Recruitment Consultant which advised that S & N had advertised internally with no success and had had a number of external applicants who hadnt lasted. This confirmed what I was being told by other people that I was just the latest in a long string of candidates for this role, all of whom had left very quickly. -In awareness meetings with other areas, a common theme was that they couldnt believe how the recruiting manager had managed to keep going with the workload, pressure and stress. When I queried this with her she confirmed she had been off sick whilst in role, but still had to answer e-mails and calls whilst ill. The same whilst on annual leave, even if abroad on holiday. This was certainly not the job as portrayed at the interview and the overall impression I had was that S & N were desperate to fill this role by any means possible. If I had been aware of the true situation I wouldnt have gone anywhere near this role or company.
