Interview
NO RESPONSE FOR 2 MONTHS!
I saw that Finseta (Cornerstone FS) where recruiting for this role in Dubai office. I had applied for the role and on their site it says they’ll respond back within 3 days. Eventually I was told that the role had been filled.
Then the recruiter emailed me and set up a call, informing me that the role has come a live again and I would hear back. I applied for the role again. Absolute silence. Heard nothing back. I followed up with the recruiter on LinkedIn, via email. Connected with multiple people on LinkedIn to obtain any sort of update but no one responded. Even messaged head of Settlements/Operations
2 months later, the role is still up on their website as Settlements Analyst in Dubai yet I have had no response at all. I find it highly offensive a company of this stature has portrayed themselves in this manner. They should be ashamed that they cannot provide any sort of feedback
