Unbelievably unprofessional process and for a company who’s aim is to enhance productivity it’s actually shocking how they waste candidates time. A role came up last year, which I applied for and had an interview with the Australian recruiter. We got along well, she told me she was going to arrange an interview with the line manager the following week, then completely ghosted me. Another role came up recently so applied again, got an email asking for me to confirm a time for another phone interview, did that, then got no phone call and ghosted again when I tried to make contact to figure out what was going on.
I’ve met other people who have had similar experiences and can see this has happened before from reading on here. For a company to be trying to build its brand in this territory they nee to act with more courtesy. I for one am now a detractor all because of a lazy and rude recruiter.
Initial interviews with HR very positive. Lady said she would put me through to the next round but then heard nothing. I follows up and was told that they might be hiring an internal candidate instead. They never got back to me to confirm so I assume they did.
My phone buzzed with a canned decline letter at 10pm PST on a Friday night a day after for a position I more than met the qualifications for. Fortunately, my resume passed the ATS at other highly esteemed companies, and I am currently working at one as well. Reading these reviews about the impersonal process and lack of respect for people’s time, such as the time it takes to apply or interview only to bizarrely be rejected, I am relieved it ended here. It’s a hot job market, but have some tact and don’t sent automated rejection emails late at night. If you have a preferred location for a remote role, perhaps you should say so.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Ended at the highly automated application process.
Overall the process went fine. Had an initial interview with a recruiter and a short second interview. I was then tasked with an assignment/ project. After I submitted the project I did not hear from them. I reached out to follow up and was told they moved forward with someone else. I did not receive any feedback regarding my interviews or project.
