I interviewed with Rise approximately six months ago (April/May 2021). I had a short telephone call with my contact, followed by a longer telephone interview, at which point I was invited to a first-stage Zoom interview and advised of the process moving forward. All of the conversations I had were informal and I was provided with a digital information leaflet, which I read prior to interview. However, I received a rejection less than an hour after my interview, which made me feel very undervalued as a candidate. Although recruitment is admittedly cutthroat, it felt as though the company hadn't taken any time to consider my skillset. On top of this, I wasn't given any constructive feedback, I was just told 'there were lots of strong candidates'.
