I applied online. I interviewed at Ahold Delhaize (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Ghost alert. Friendly initial chats with personable recruiter, followed by a call with hiring manager and then an in-person review with the broader team. Then absolutely no follow up from recruiter or hiring manager. Didn't even acknowledge the "thanks and nice to meet you" email I sent post-interview. The team's poor recruiting ethics soured an initially positive candidate experience. Regret the considerable time and effort spent in the first few rounds of this dead end.

Interview
they called me for a face to face after the resume was shortlisted and it was for a contract based opportunity. the recruiter got in touch with me saying via linked inmail saying they are interested in my profile and want to have a face to face interview. when i went there, it was a very formal environment. clearly my resume showed i was a junior candidate. And she made it seem like they didnt know they have mentioned they wanted 3 to 5 years exp on the job listing. what was even worse is she told me i should not take contract based jobs and she started to assess me with my age. Why waste my time. i ve prepared for the interview the whole week and the weekend as well. It was a waste of time. They judge by your looks and age. not by the exp you had and what you are capable of. i was not even asked any further questions.
