Ghosted after the final interview. The initial phone interview with the recruiter went really well. There was clear overlap between my experience and what they were looking for. The second interview, with the Head of Marketing and Head of Inside Sales, went even better. It was the first time I’d left an interview feeling genuinely energised and optimistic.
For the final round, I delivered a presentation on an initiative to grow novated leasing leads from 20% to 50%. Being critical of myself, I think it went okay. The program was solid, but my delivery wasn’t where I wanted it to be. I was unwell at the time and probably should have pushed the presentation back.
Two days went by, and I reached out to the recruiter... nothing. The next week, I called — he texted back saying he’d call me that afternoon... nothing. Two days later, I asked if I could get an update; he replied yes... again, nothing. Since then, every time I’ve called, emailed, or texted, I’ve had no response. Even if I wasn’t successful, I just wanted to understand why.
