Interview
I was approached on LinkedIn by someone in a management position. I had a total of 5 separate phone calls in a one and a half month span. After my final call I received a very promising email from Lori Krogel, Sr. Vice President, stating that she would reach out to me that coming Friday with a decision. After multiple follow up attempts, three weeks had passed when I came to the conclusion that I had been ghosted. It actually came as a surprise that someone in that position with so much tenure would conduct themselves in such an unprofessional manner and it speaks volumes about the company but I am glad to have learned this during the interview process rather than potentially accepting a position with a company that embodies this tye of behavior.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself and your recruiting backround?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Randstad US (Austin, TX) in May 2019
Interview
I applied for the role through LinkedIn. I received a callback a month later. The first interview was with a recruiter who was awesome the entire way through this process. She was very informative and always wanted to set you up for success no matter who I interviewed with. Afterwards I had a phone interview with the VP of sales in the market (decision maker) that phone interview went well so we scheduled a time to meet face to face. The face to face interview we had went well asked normal questions and they also explained the expectations of the job. When I had applied for the role they had two opening for two different positions based on my experience and the interviews they chose to move forward with me as a Branch Manager when now it seems I should have interviewed as a Staffing Manager. After the face to face again it was confirmed that I’d be interviewing for the Branch Manager and I would be notified of next steps after the VP came back from PTO. The next steps were meeting with a current Branch Manager and feeling out the position and ask any additional questions you may have. Maybe a few days after I was instructed I’d have a phone interview with the SVP. I completed that phone interview. Then there was another delay due to another PTO time off the VP had. I had my last interview with the current Staffing Managers I’d be leading. After all this I was finally informed I wasn’t selected for the role after all these interviews. The reasoning was due to my staffing experience. My resume was the same resume from the beginning. I was a little confused as to why I went through all these meetings and interviews if that was the case. Either way I am not bitter and I appreciate the time they spent with me throughout the process. I hope they find the right person for the job. Just smooth out the process.
