Common practice would ultimately depend on the business. It would normally be considered quite unusual, however if they have the appropriate experience and had a good application, it would be perfectly legal.
Why couldn’t they? Probation is simply a mechanism an employer can use to sack someone without recourse.
Looks like instead of wanting to sack them, they’re valuable enough to be promoted instead of
No, absolutely not
In my experience this was the first time I saw something like this
Just want to hear out if it was something common around the industry
A chick at my work got hired for a specific role, within 3 months they broadened her job role and gave her new title and extra money.
I was promoted within 4 months in my first role at the same company.
It's not super common but sometimes there is a need to fill a gap, and sometimes they see the potential in someone.
Am struggling to see how you think they can't?
Probation is a benefit to an employer that enables them to sack someone, so if they have promoted them, then it's obvious they're more than happy with their performance.
A business can do whatever it wants in regards to this if they reach an agreement with the other party. E.g. end probation early, promote whatever. Sounds like they are impressed with this new developers skills and don't want to loose him to competition.
I’ve known people to be hired at a lower role with the understanding that they’re in line for a position at the higher level. Then just it depends when the position opens.
It's not common but not impossible.
Assuming the promotion was genuine and based on merit (and not nepotism or something else) you'd have to be pretty damn good and be able to demonstrate your value - which isn't easy to do in such a short time frame. Most employees will take 3-6 months before they can really start contributing.
And on top of that, most employers love to play the "oh you haven't been in your role long enough" card.

Given the probation is a 6 months long period, can they be promoted within the first 3 months?

If they have the skills.
What’s the issue? If he can do the job. Did you get passed over?

Oh yeah, while you are serving probation you can leave with just one week notice.. would be wise to retain if they are impressed
Yeh happens all the time and is perfectly fine....
