This entire process was horrible. I applied for the job on LinkedIn. The recruiter reached out to me ASAP. I mean I literally got a welcome email in a couple hours. So my thought process was, "OK, this should hopefully be a quick and transparent process." NOPE. The welcome email detailed the 2 individuals that would be interviewing me and they asked me to reply with a few times of my availability. So I did and replied within the hour after they reached out to me. I didn't get a response until the availability times had already passed. They then said there would be a scheduler reaching out to me. After multiple emails asking for status, they finally set up the "video" interview with the 2 individuals. I also asked the recruiter in 3 separate emails about the compensation range and she never responded. 🤷🏿‍♂️ The "video" interview time had come. One interviewer joined the call but was late. The second interviewer never joined and never informed his colleague on the call why or where he was. I am not sure what is happening with these video interviews these days but interviewers are not feeling obligated to turn their cameras on which is flat out rude since I have to have mine on. Seems to be becoming the norm. Anyway, he asked some technical questions but seemed distracted at times. Whatever. I did pretty well in answering his questions or so I thought. He told me the recruiter would be in touch. Weeks went by and during this time I sent 3 follow up emails. I finally got a response with just a canned message saying they went with another candidate. As candidates, some companies make it seem as though we have to be on our best behavior to be considered for a job but it should be a 2 way street. I am tired of feeling as though I have to tap dance for employers to impress them and meanwhile they can be completely inconsiderate of our time. It's time to address why interview etiquette only has to be followed for the candidate. This experience is a prime example.
