One of the most unprofessional recruitment processes I've ever experienced. To start, a recruiter reached out to me about the role...and when it came time for our introduction call, she was nowhere to be found. I wrote her an e-mail to check in on her / see if anything had happened, and she didn't end up replying until almost a full week later (the call was scheduled for a Friday and she finally sent me a note the following Wednesday). When she did, she simply said "something came up" and apologized for the inconvenience. I refuse to believe that there wasn't enough time in her day (nay, several days following) to reply back to a person that she was ACTIVELY recruiting. Not to mention, this is at the core of her job function. This was, quite honestly, fairly off-putting and a huge red flag, but I bit my tongue and proceeded regardless. Eventually, we got back on track and the rest of the process actually went fairly smoothly. Disappointingly, I did not get the offer after an onsite visit that not only required taking a day off of work but several hours of work outside of my job preparing a model and presentation for a case study. Alas, that is the name of the game. What was irking, however, was that when all was said and done, I didn't hear from the recruiter for another week (despite being told I'd have an answer in the next few days) and when I eventually did, I received a generic, cookie-cutter e-mail rather than a call. This, frankly, is inexcusably unprofessional, especially considering the missed initial meeting, never mind the fact that this was an outbound recruiting effort.

First a Phone screen, then a follow up interview and then after those, a business case. Challenging but likely an accurate reflection of the role based on what I know from people within the organization. Could’ve probably avoided wasting time by giving the assessment earlier in the process.
