After applying through LinkedIn, I was contacted by a recruiter via email to set up a phone screen. This was the standard, "make sure you can form complete sentences," and I was then asked to come in for a in-person interview. I met one-on-one with the manager of the department I was interviewing for. This was very informal, as I was asked to describe my experience, without getting much of a chance to do so. She was very informative about the company, but seemed less interested in listening to what I had to say. I am also of the mindset that the candidate doesn't need to know every intricate detail until they are actually hired... but it did help me understand what that specific department does for the company. During the interview, I was shown a piece of paper with notes from my phone screen dubbing me a "more junior level" candidate. My prior experience is more specialized than the position I was applying for, so needless to say that felt like a slap in the face. Aside from this comment, my negative rating is based on the post-interview "process," or lack thereof. My interview was on a Friday, and I sent a follow up email the following Monday. I was told that I would hear from the recruiter as soon as she knew something. Over a week later I finally sent an email asking for an update (after seeing the same position posted again on LinkedIn) and was told that they were moving forward with another candidate. In my opinion, the recruiter has just as much of a responsibility to the candidate as the company. If a candidate takes the time to come in for an interview, the basic courtesy of a timely update (especially when promised) should be necessary. Overall the experience was disappointing and unprofessional.
