I was interviewed for a researcher role. The interviewers were respectful and patient, giving me time to respond and even engaging in a discussion with me. I did not get the job, so I asked for feedback. However, my request was ignored. For me, this raised questions about the organisation's 'consumerist approach' to applicants as well as the recruitment process itself. How my interview responses were noted, assessed and considered against the personal specifications and other applicants. Maybe they weren't. Given that the organisation's mission is to hold others to account and greater transparency, the organisation should be able to demonstrate its own internal and external accountability and transparency in relation to recruitment processes.
