Telephone interview, and then an in-person interview. The whole process was really quite laughable. Firstly, whenever a company hires full-time recruiters, that should tell you something is very wrong with retention etc. They also get in the way of you and the people who want to recruit you and they fill the whole thing with endless amounts of 'process'. With hindsight, given there was no actual role they were recruiting for here this might all have been a recruitment and HR exercise to justify their existence. I'm being cynical, but it happens. The telephone interview went reasonably well as an initial contact, but when you go to a formal interview you expect a company to have a reasonable idea of what role they would expect you to perform, and you know, actually read your CV. They should have prepared and known where I would fit in in advance. It became pretty clear that they hadn't done either and when that happens interviews usually come off the rails. I was asked a lot of pointless questions that bore little to no relation to what I would actually be doing in the job. I was informed they were hiring 'talent'. I did think about attempting to get the interview on track by asking some pointed and awkward questions such as "Have you read my CV? The answer is on there if you'd read it" and "Do you know what position you are recruiting for?" but then I realised that was fruitless and I didn't really care at that point. I blundered through the rest of the questions until the end. At that point I had checked out of the role and the company. On a more basic, and serious level, the interviewers couldn't dress appropriately for an interview. Given the environment things are obviously going to be more casual, but honestly, if you know you're meeting someone you don't know and you are creating an impression of you and the company.......leave the jeans behind for the day? This is high school preparation for the world of work. I got a garbled voicemail from a recruiter who could barely speak English a couple of days later about 'giving me feedback', but I'd already started looking at other positions by then. A month later (yes, a month!) I then got told by e-mail "At this time we have decided to pursue another candidate for this current open position." This is the usual bunch of virtue signalling you get, and I would hazard a guess they haven't really recruited anyone. When you see a number of red flags in an interview it normally means there are a lot more rotten things underneath. This company doesn't know it yet but it is already dead and the most likely outcome is a slow death as existing customers ebb away or a takeover by a company or investment group who will then finish it off over the next few years. I'm sorry to say that if you have a lot of good experience and you actually have 'talent' this is a company to avoid, which is sad because they are missing out on a lot of good people. That will kill them.
