Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). O processo levou 3 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Breast Cancer Now em mar. de 2026
Entrevista
One of the strangest interview processes I have experienced. I interviewed for this role four weeks ago. The interview itself was a good experience, both interviewers were friendly and the questions & task were clear. It was the communication and transparency post interview that was disappointing. There was a three week delay in communication, I followed up with the recruiter on several occasion and was told this was initially because a candidate was unwell and then told it was because of the company rebrand. I then received a phone call to say they had rejected every candidate but myself three weeks ago and I was the only candidate they wanted to give an offer too. In most circumstances this would lead one to believe they would be receiving an offer, but in this case, I was told that due to the rebrand they no longer saw a clear purpose for the role in its current form and were looking to change the job description altogether. I was then promised detailed feedback but did not receive that. The following week, I saw the job had been relisted with the exact same job description and no further update or feedback for myself.
Some feedback to BCN: In the current job market, 4 weeks is a lifetime. Please consider this when handling candidates, improved communication from the beginning would have been appreciated alongside a clearer reason for rejecting me that wouldn’t be entirely contradicted by the exact same job going live again a week later.
I hope anyone else that applies for this role has a better experience.

Getting the job interview questions in advance was incredibly helpful for preparation, so you aren’t caught off guard, and 3 skills-based tasks to do which were fine. Lovely, relaxed interview and people.

Can you give an example of when you have had to manage several projects/tasks at the same time and how you dealt with that?
Interview experience – decent conversations, poor follow-up
I interviewed for a role at Breast Cancer Now and found the interview itself to be a positive-ish experience. The panel were engaged, the questions were thoughtful, and the discussion felt substantive and respectful.
However, the post-interview communication was disappointing. I was told I would receive an outcome by a specific date, but heard nothing until I followed up over a week later. I was then reassured I would receive a decision that day, only to receive an automated rejection email shortly afterwards, with no personal feedback.
I subsequently requested feedback and, at the time of writing, have not received a response after over a week.
While I appreciate that recruitment processes are busy, clearer communication and timely feedback would have made the experience feel more professional and aligned with the organisation’s values. The interview itself was strong, but the lack of follow-up detracted from what could otherwise have been a very positive candidate experience.
Advice to management:
Ensure candidates receive timely updates and basic feedback, particularly when expectations have been set. Small improvements in communication would significantly improve the overall recruitment experience.
