Dear Pratap,
First of all please remove "recession terminology" from your head.
The recruitment "process" has not changed with any organization becuase f recession. The process is the same, just that positions have been cut (a few)
Do you think that interviews are only meant to find the best and take the best? Sometimes even the best of the best people are not considered, becuase of the Organization work culture. It may not nurture your dreams.
I have interviewed many people for positions in the automotive domain, and I have purposefully rejected a few REAL GOOD candidates (I was working with a well reputed Automotive Engineering company then) . Not because I was biased or did not want them...its just that if such people had joined the company, they will leave in within two months. Their dreams and vision will not match the company/teams direction.
Whereas some people may just be average - and we will eb sure tyhat they can perform in such a pressurized / different culture and will also benefit by being a part of the team.
This is one such scenario.
Sometimes - I have come across some people who are really good with the skills, but have a set back in attitude - very cold and "ya I know what it is" attitude. I scored him high for the interview and when he was meeting my boss... my boss (The Managing Director) just threw his resume outside the door, once the candidate left. And the statement to me was "so now you know what kind of people I need in my company - not boasters, but real players and leaders!"
So forget about why you are not selected. There are reasons behind it. If a MNC can grow that big and have a good name, sure they know how to interview. Or who knows, maybe you will be a fit a couple of months down the line. Just focus on what you can deliever. No point in worrying over these silly things on why you were not selected.
