I was invited for an HR interview. I booked the interviewer's diary and got confirmation, then on the interview date, the interviewer didn't show up. After following up, they rescheduled it. After going through the interview, they told me when to expect to hear back from them if I move to the next step, but I never got any clarification.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Registrar in Feb 2024
Interview
This was quite a nightmare, and I felt so strung along for TWO MONTHS. I received an email from the recruiter at first for an introductory call, which was very normal and easy. After that I had an hour call with the hiring manager, which I really enjoyed. It wasn't until the end of the call that she mentioned I'd be doing THREE more rounds. My eyes almost sprung out of my head when she mentioned a case study assignment would be next, in addition to that, a call with a team member, and then a call with the CEO...this was an entry-level/associate role, mind you. I completed the case study assignment, which the instruction was poorly written for. PLEASE provide enough instruction if you're asking for candidates to complete an assignment WITHOUT PAY. From there, I had a call with a peer/team member, which was very normal and fine. After this call however, is when I'd hear NOTHING for weeks. I was shocked because I did very well in these interviews and really clicked with everyone I met, and was told my assignment was very impressive. I would email the recruiter for answers, and would get back a generic response that "the team ran into delays" and that I would hear back the next week. Except, I would get that every other week...and would hear nothing concrete, only that there were "delays". It really was a disrespectful process and a complete waste of my time. Eventually, I gave up on trying to get an update and that's when I was emailed with a REAL update...they paused hiring on the job because the hiring manager left the company and they hired a contractor INSTEAD to fill the role/supplement the responsibilities. They also mentioned they'd reach back out towards the end of the year but I really have no interest nor do I expect anything from this company/team, they are very clearly incompetent. So that's how my last 2 months were wasted, thanks for reading!
