The process started smoothly, with a positive interview and encouraging feedback from the hiring manager. But from there, it completely unraveled.
- I received an email that still had placeholder text ({{CANDIDATE_FIRST_NAME}}), showing no attention to detail.
- The process was suddenly put “on hold” for weeks with no clarity.
- Every update was vague and inconsistent, and the only reason I got any information at all was because I kept pushing back; otherwise, I would have been left in the dark (or ghosted entirely).
- After weeks of this, I was sent a generic rejection email — only to see the same role reposted soon after.
Candidates invest significant time and energy. Being met with careless communication, no feedback, and shifting excuses shows a lack of respect and professionalism. If this is how they handle hiring, I can only imagine the level of disorganization internally.
