I interviewed for an HR role in Dublin and had one of the most disappointing recruitment experiences of my career. The process dragged on for three weeks, involving multiple assessments and interviews, only to be ghosted at the end. The recruiter (Will, based in Ireland) even claimed he had sent feedback which I never received. To make matters worse, one of the interviewers for the second stage simply forgot to join the scheduled call, which did not reflect well on the company’s professionalism. The final interview also felt more like an attempt to trip me up than a genuine assessment of my skills. Despite my significant HR and EOR experience, I was left chasing updates and treated without basic respect. The role has since been re-posted, months later (this has been ongoing since August and it’s now October), which makes the whole process feel like a complete waste of time.
