I am not sure there's anything inherently wrong with what you have been told. Disney, being the size it is, obviously has developed over the years a proven recruiting process that gets them what they need personnel-wise. Will it over-look perfectly acceptable, even highly desireable candidates? Yes. But in the interests of efficacy, there is a value to having mechanisms in place to streamline the process. Disney, rightly or wrongly, has determined a methodolgy of screening applicants that reduces the overall HR costs of processing applications.

 

I can only guess that they have determined a level of trust in their relations with such companies as Coke and Pepsi that if they call for a reference the resultant reference will be reliable. By narrowing their focus to applications that have the requisite experience combined with a history at known reliable companies they likely save millions in HR costs.

 

I realise this may not be very encouraging to someone who has persued Disney employment in vain for 7 years, but it is a reality that large corporations must be fiscally responsible.
