I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at DICK'S Sporting Goods
Interview
Two rounds of interviews. One with department manager one with the store manager to see if you are qualified for the position. Overall a pretty easy interview process. Nothing out of the ordinary based on interviews with other companies. Somewhat lacked communication with new hires and interview process.
I spend thousands of dollars a year at Dick’s. I sent a LinkedIn message to a recruiter who to no surprise couldn’t be bothered to reply to me and let me know I wasn’t a fit. You are a retail establishment and all of your job applicants are customers. Would you ignore your customers in a store if they asked you a question?

Interview
I applied to the position directly through a posting on LinkedIn. The recruiter contacted me about three weeks later for an initial interview. The recruiter asked about my availability for the first call, but did not confirm we were set for that time. He was almost 15 minutes late and I wasn't really sure if we would be meeting at all due to the lack of communication. Based on that call the recruiter was going to pass my information on and asked for my potential availability for a second call. Again, no confirmation was given that time would work nor was a calendar invite sent out. I ended up missing a call with the hiring manager later that week and when I reached back out to the recruiter I received a terse response, and no acknowledgement that the company would be interested in rescheduling. This is the only company that I've interviewed with in my career that was incapable of confirming a time and sending a calendar invite. This is the only company I've missed an interview with. I don't know how difficult it's been for them to find talented hires, and this may be a terrific place to work but I don't believe their HR department are doing them any favors based on their lack of fundamental skills.
