A recruiter contacted me through LinkedIn saying I looked like a good fit for a Director of Partnerships role (I didn't apply to any role because I wasn't looking for a job, but I agreed to a phone screen).
During the HR phone screen, the recruiter talked about a different role -- Biz Dev Manger -- at which point we both realized the role she referenced in her LinkedIn message was a "typo."
Regardless, this new role also sounded interesting, although it didn't match my background or experience. She asked me several irrelevant questions such as why was I looking to leave my current job so soon, and I reminded her that I wasn't looking and that she had proactively reached out to me. A couple days later I got an email that I had advanced to the next round.
The next round was a phone call with the hiring manager. Like HR, he also asked some questions that were illogical given the context (but he also asked some good ones, and in his defense he was likely given wrong information by HR). Unlike HR, he concluded that I was not a fit, because a couple days later I received an email saying so.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why are you looking to leave your current company?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Credit Karma (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2016
Interview
Offer has neither been made nor rejected -- still pending communication from Recruiter nearly 2 weeks post-interview.
The other reviews are correct when they say the Recruiting Team does a POOR job of following up.
I interviewed at Credit Karma nearly 2 weeks ago. The Recruiter explicitly said she would get back to me 1 week post-interview, and and I have yet to hear from her, despite my follow up attempts. It is the professional and courteous thing to do to inform the interviewee of where he/she stands, especially when you've given your word.
I am entertaining a couple other opportunities right now, but Credit Karma is at the top of my list, so the lack of communication is incredibly disappointing.
