Interviewing with Glovo has undoubtedly been the most disgusting experience I've had in my professional career.
Don't get me wrong , I'm pretty sure Glovo as an organization is great but when you have a disgusting and vile "tech sourcer" representing the organization, it creates a negative outlook for the candidate.
I clear up my schedule to attend the interview and the great “tech sourcer" sends an email stating the interview is cancelled. This is just 20 minutes prior to the interview.
A sane person would say - Hey interviews get rescheduled all the time , this isn’t a big deal.
On asking for clarification as to why the interview was rescheduled at such a short notice - this great “tech sourcer” states -
“The interviewers are not prepared enough to take your interview”.
I kid you not.
I have email proof.
I figured this was some kind of a joke because a company with 1000s of employees can surely arrange someone else to take the interview because I as a candidate moved by schedule around just to attend the interview.
But expecting any kind of decency from this "tech sourcer" is too much to ask for.
This “tech sourcer” was aware that the incompetent interviewers were not prepared to conduct the interview way before hand, atleast a day or two prior to the interview but never felt the need to inform me.
I have email proof for the same where this great "tech sourcer" confessed he knew it a day prior but he decided not to tell me.
I am now at the final round of the interview and I have received phenomenal feedback after reach round.
I have emails from this "tech sourcer" stating how much the team liked me and that my interview performance was flawless.
Again I have proof.
For the final round, I inform this "tech sourcer" about my personal commitments and that I would be able to attend the final interview in next 4-5 days.
Let me make it clear I told this joker about my timelines and commitments way in advance even before the first interview was conducted.
To this , the recruiter said "Don't worry we will manage and get your interviews scheduled."
Again I have proof.
There was some back and forth , despite being open to this joker about my commitments and deadlines he was scheduling my interview way past the date I was comfortable with.
Firstly they messed up by cancelling the interview just 20 minutes prior to the schedule and then don't even have the common courtesy or decency to own the mistake.
I pressed the "tech sourcer" and told him this was unprofessional to which he took offence and his fragile ego took over.
Despite receiving phenomenal tech feedback after each round , this "tech sourcer" sent me a solo email on a different thread stating he wouldn't move ahead with my application.
The reason mentioned in that email was "my tech not being in line with what is expected" despite receiving great feedback after each round and my tech expertise matching with literally everything mentioned in the job description.
The only reason this joker chose not to proceed with my application is because I showed some backbone by pressing him and trying to hold him accountable for his mistakes.
I can see Glovo responding to interview reviews on Glassdoor.
If anyone of you have even a pinch of common courtesy or decency, reach out and I will share screenshot and proof of everything I mentioned above.
I don't know how an incompetent "tech sourcer" can get away with such a behaviour. You have this person representing your organization being the point of contact for numerous candidates.
Atleast keep a competent person who takes his job seriously and doesn't have a fragile ego.
Moreover this sheep of a recruiter talked about Glovo culture.
Let’s take a moment to read their culture. Read the article mentioned below.

If you want candidates to perceive your organization in a positive light, you need be very careful as to who you select will be the first point of contact for candidates. If you chose a joker like this "tech sourcer" , you will end up losing good candidates.
