Very Unprofessional during the entire interview process! I was called by the recruiter of the company for the interview process. There were one VC round with Ops Manager, 2 face to face rounds with the HR Manager & the CTO. I was confirmed by the recruiter that I was selected and the package discussion was also done. But when its time to release the offer, the recruiter vanished. I never received any call from the HR which I was supposed to receive as stated by the recruiter. Each time, I was calling the recruiter for the offer status, she was giving me different excuses – offer is getting approved by business, HR manager is on leave, business will take 2 weeks to roll out offer, many employees are travelling onsite, business is busy as they are tying up with different vendors etc. When I asked her to tell me clearly if I am selected or rejected, she would tell me that I have been selected till the end. After few weeks, I again called her to check on the offer status and she told me that the position has got freezed and I am free to join any other offer. Now, my advice to the management is if you are not sure of which position to open the Req for, please don’t waste candidate’s time & money. I know this is a start up company but it’s not that new too that the basic standards are not yet set up. The candidate should be given a clear & straight update on the interview status and not to be kept hanging with different excuses. Moreover, final discussion on package (that is decided for that candidate) is not to be done until u are sure of hiring that candidate.
