I applied to Daynight Promotions (Marketing company in Riverside) via LinkedIn, for the position of Assistant Operations Manager. I was immediately contacted (via text) for a next-day "interview" via Zoom. But the text sender did not introduce themselves, the company or position. I had to ask for that, and only got vague first names. They asked me availability, which I said was 3:30pm; they then gave me the ultimatum of their availability at 9:00am, 9:30am, 2:00pm or 2:30pm. It seemed odd, but I rearranged my schedule to accomodate a 2:30pm appointment. And when I confirmed who I would be meeting with, I was told "The hiring manager". (Uh... okay. Mr.? Ms.? Zir.? No clue.) Anyways, I was in the chat 5 minutes early, waiting for the host. And at 2:35 in (once tardy members arrived), the "interview" began, and I realized this is not a 1-on-1 interview. Turns out, I was there with the hiring manager, and 2 other candidates (for the exact same job)... and I am the only one sporting business attire. When I clarified what type of interview was transpiring, I was told it wasn't an interview, but a group screening, because they have hundreds of candidates to review. And anyone who made it past this step would be invited for a mandatory interview tomorrow (Which was news to me in that moment). So, I wished the other candidates luck and politely excused myself from the interview. After I left the interview, I called the number provided in the email and spoke with the hiring manager separately, to discuss the lack of communication and professionalism, and was met with a very rude approach of "I'm sorry you feel that way, It's not my responsibility to change how we hire or change the culture." Honestly, this company's LinkedIn is very new, the website is incomplete, their office phones have no voicemail set up, and something about their practices and attitude towards candidates is fishy. Personally, I would not recommend this company to anyone.
