I was contacted by a company representative directly over LinkedIn back in March for this role, after we exchanged correspondence and I sent them my CV they had invited me to have a telephone screening with HR. I have booked the telephone screening however they had forgotten about it and I had to reschedule it for the next day. During the screening it felt more like an interview, and I got the general impression from the get go I was not a right fit for this role as my experience is quite different. Left the telephone call feeling unsure - HR had said hey would check with the hiring manager if they would even consider me for an in person interview! At this point I was ready to throw in the towel, despite the fact they had come back a few days later to say they would like to invite me to their onsite offices in London. Feeling uncertain I decided to go anyway, met the hiring manager and the interview felt really relaxed (when I showed up at around 5 everyone was on the drinks) so this could be a nice place to work at. After feeling like the interview was a success I had reached out to the company for some feedback- which I never received after multiple emails asking them politely for. I guess at this point I realised I never actually got the role however I think it's very unprofessional to not give a candidate any sort of feedback whatsoever. Especially if you invited them for an in person interview in your officers And the fact they directly contacted me over LinkedIn for this opportunity- you would think there would be some more personal investment in me, but I guess not!

Had 3 interviews in total, the process was slick and quick as i think the company was desperately looking for someone to cover for that role and start as soon as possible.
