Interview
I applied for the Product Marketing Manager role via LinkedIn and was contacted by a recruiter. I was informed that the role was evolving to better align with Abilitie's business goals, and the title was being adjusted to Digital Product and Growth Marketer. The process moved quickly, and I advanced to the next round with the hiring team.
My conversation with the hiring manager was highly engaging and made me even more excited about the role, as it closely mirrored a past position I held. The next interview with a senior leader, however, felt very different. The interaction was more formal and evaluative, making it difficult to establish a natural dialogue. At times, the conversation felt impersonal, and there were moments where it was challenging to share my thoughts without interruption.
During the discussion, I provided insights into a past target audience I had worked with, clarifying their key priorities and preferences. Shortly after, I received a rejection email. While disappointing, the experience ultimately left me questioning whether the role and work environment would have been the right fit.

Question 1
Walk me through your thought process around messaging positioning?
4 stages - 1 - recruiter virtual , 2/3 - in person , 4 - virtual . they interview and you go to final stage then they repost the job advert around 5 times after you have completed all stages so they have more candidates then make you wait so very sneaky & negative overall. the people were nice but seems management have no clue of what they actually want and improper processes

Interview
Started with a screening call with a friendly recruiter. They asked standard screening questions. The interview felt like it went well. After saying they'd follow up with potential next steps in a few days, I never heard anything back despite following up. Unprofessional and disappointing.
