I completely share your disappointment that your interviewer was inadequately prepared for your meeting. That shouldn’t have happened, and I apologize.
I would like to offer some general observations about Nexient recruitment:
In keeping with employment law in certain states where we operate, it’s not our practice to inquire about salary history. However, we do ask about salary expectations in order to ensure that the company and the candidate are generally aligned.
We have a rigorous recruitment process that considers not only work history and education, but also technical expertise and critical behavioral assessments. For example, for developers, we evaluate depth not only in individual programming languages, but also in Agile collaboration, enterprise software development, and other essential success factors. There are times we come across candidates who need formal training in one or more of these areas and we consider them for an appropriate role at Nexient.
People who join us at junior levels enjoy additional formal training and mentoring to help them deepen their technical and business competencies. There are also fast track opportunities to accelerate your progress over a short time.
Over time, we’ve found these processes have helped us build an exceptional team and a vibrant, collaborative workplace where people can build satisfying careers. No system is perfect though, and undoubtedly there must be times when we miss out on a great candidate.
Wishing you all the best in your job search.
