I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Jones Lang LaSalle (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2020
Interview
I applied for the job on LinkedIn. Rcvd a call from a recruiter out-of-state, we did a short phone screening. It went well. She said she'd let the hiring manager know. The hiring manager followed up with me and we scheduled a phone call. Our phone call lasted about 25 minutes. It went very well. I was asked to come for an on-site interview. On-site interview lasted about 50 minutes. Most questions were personality-based and typical interview questions like "Tell me about a time when...." It went well, or at least I thought it did. The job was mostly repurposing social media posts for different dist channels and other content stuff more senior ppl didn't have time to get done. The hiring manager told me they'd f/u w/ me before the end of next week because of a couple more interviews to get through; I had been communicating w/ them via email so I had that information. I waited until the end of the next week and heard nothing back, so I followed up w/ the hiring manager, who told me to reach out to her directly with questions. I didn't receive a response then saw the position reposted on LinkedIn later that day. I assumed they didn't like what I had to say during the on-site interview and moved on to applying elsewhere. After another week, I finally received a response from the out-of-state recruiter telling me that while my background was "impressive" it was "inconsistent" with their needs. I asked for feedback and didn't rcv a response from the recruiter or hiring manager.
I have no qualms with being rejected. I like rejection because it's conducive to self-improvement. But for a hiring manager to a) not follow up when they said they would and b) not communicate with me directly after an hourlong in-person interview to explain this to me themselves is extremely unprofessional and rude. Just because the job market is tight doesn't mean hiring managers get to act like they're above a job candidate, especially one they spoke to 1:1. Had I been someone with less experience, it would have been a real blow to my self-esteem. Recruiter invited me to apply to other positions at JLL, I told them thanks but no thanks.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Jones Lang LaSalle (Ghaziabad) in Mar 2021
Interview
Offline personal interview that was rescheduled a couple of times. Then due to multiple rescheduling, I had to take the interview from home. It was followed by a written assignment which was really easy. However, the interviewers doesn't seem to happy knowing that I am giving the interview from home and basically rejected me from that only.
