The process took 3 months. I interviewed at National Grid (Warwick, West Midlands, England)
Interview
I travelled several hundred miles and rearranged flights at short notice and very considerable cost to interview.
I fully understand that they may not have wanted to hire me - that's part of the process- but despite the effort and expense that I went to meet their schedules, the recruiting people didn't return calls and they simply dropped contact with as much as a "thank you" or "sorry, but..."
This is simply good enough for a professional company of this size when recruiting for senior roles
