Super responsive, quick initial interview to confirm I was a match to move forward. Straight to the point in job requirements, salary expectation, no beating around the bush which was nice!

Question 1
Explain my background and how it is applicable to this role
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at GWF Associates (Tinton Falls, NJ) in Sept 2018
Interview
Traditional process to start. Brief phone conversation and then meet in person. Said they wanted a quick turn around. Felt the process was very drawn out and ultimately had to settle for another position because a decision was never made. Out of the box interview questions, busy company.
Thank you for taking the time to apply to GWF Associates, LLC and we appreciate your feedback and we will take it into consideration for future applicants.

Interview
I received a message nearly a month ago about setting up a phone interview, I promptly responded but never received a follow up. I called once after 4 days of no response, the receptionist told me the boss went on a trip. I waited patiently until several days later, then the job posting disappeared. I called several more times to get some kind of confirmation whether or not the position had been filled, yet the receptionists never told me a thing. One receptionist even promises me a call back by the end of the day but that never happened either. I wasted my time researching this company, seeking answers, and preparing for an interview that never happened. Very unprofessional behavior in my opinion. Please communicate with your candidates rather than actively trying to avoid them in the future, our time is just as precious as yours.
Dear Candidate,
Thank you for your interest in joining our team and we are very sorry to hear you did not receive a satisfactory reply to your inquiry. We receive hundreds of calls and emails a day for any opening and while we do our best to follow up with each candidate as quickly as possible we regret that occasionally applicants can slip through the cracks.
Regarding the promise of a returned call by the end of day, this is very unusual as our President travels to over 50 events per year (that's more then one a week) and it would be highly unlikely that he would be able to schedule a one on one call to an applicant who has not yet been interviewed yet on such short notice. We will certainly look into this and invite you to apply to future positions should they become available.
