Overall a rather confusing and disrespectful experience.
The initial screening call was with a non-technical individual who, quite rudely, kept yawning throughout the interview and was visibly distracted. The second interview was with the hiring manager and was considerably more pleasant. During this stage, the candidate profile was outlined, my background and experience were discussed, and I was asked behavioural/situational questions.
At this stage, I recieved a generic rejection email and did not get a clear reason for their decision. My requests for additional feedback were ghosted.
Several months later now, I can see that the job advert is still up. It appears to me that despite outlining their ideal candidate profile, they don't know who they're looking for. The lack of transparency and respect during the interview process means that they're missing out on good candidates.
Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 3 meses. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Better Dairy.
Entrevista
I applied at the end of September and had my first interview with the recruiter in November. Two weeks later, I was invited to an interview with HR, followed by an in-office presentation and case study. One week later, I received a rejection email with a generic reason. Overall, this was quite a long and drawn-out hiring process for a start-up that describes itself as fast-paced.
I also noticed that the job advertisement remained open throughout, suggesting that the company may be struggling to find the ideal candidate or may not have fully defined the profile they are looking for. Based on my experience, I would recommend that the company streamline its recruitment process, clarify its candidate criteria, and ensure that applicants’ time is respected.
