Does HR have any power when deciding on return offers?
As the title says, I'm curious if HR has any power when it comes to converting your summer into a FT offer. For example, even if the intern performs well and the bankers want them back next year, can HR veto it based on their interactions with the intern?
I'm worried because I had a sub-par interaction with someone from HR. I won't go into too much detail, but HR made quite a big mistake and I got annoyed because of it when they called me. Obviously I tried to keep it professional but it was probably obvious from my voice that I was pissed off.
The problem has resolved since, but now I'm worried if that phone call could cost me a return offer. Can anyone provide any insight?
The way I would think about things is that everyone you interact with “has a say”, in that if something is a big enough negative or positive the feedback will get back to the hiring manager. That being said, at most places the ultimate decision isn’t in their hands, it is mostly input that hiring managers can decide if they care enough about it. So if you are a great intern and had a small screw up I wouldn’t worry about it; most likely the work and other interactions will be weighed heavily. If you were a good intern but always treated HR or admins or others like crap, then I would be worried about it as that feedback will be discussed and I wouldn’t hire someone like that on my team (but it will depend on the decision maker on your team).
If you were professional and this was a small thing overall I think you are fine.
In my bank they usually don't have a say who will get an offer. But they are involved in the final decision making meeting, so if they said a certain intern is really not a good fit with a reason, then he's doomed.
I wouldn't be too worried. The on-boarding HR people are not always the same as the recruiters etc. Hopefully, the HR person who pissed you off is not part of the process. However, everyone has a say. Even they don't normally have a say, they can always shoot an email to someone who does...
