I applied for multiple service and IT-related positions with Linder Industrial Machinery and the hiring process was one of the most disorganized I’ve experienced. Positions stayed reposted for months despite the roles seeming fairly realistic and fillable, yet communication was extremely limited unless I personally followed up.
I was repeatedly told the hiring manager was in meetings, informed recruiters were unavailable due to conventions, and even voicemails left with HR were never returned. The company promotes a “strong leadership culture,” but that was not reflected in the hiring experience.
There was also little to no salary transparency despite high expectations for applicants. After months of reposted openings and minimal communication, the process eventually felt more focused on collecting resumes than actively hiring.
After my experience, I looked through reviews from other applicants and former employees and noticed many of the same complaints regarding HR communication and organization, which made this feel less like an isolated issue.
They are not hiring. They are collecting resumes and looking like they are "adding jobs". If you have a job open for months. It's not your candidate pool. It's your HR and Recruiter that are the problem. (Plant city, Fl Location Specifically).
