Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and please accept our sincere apologies for the delayed response. We’re also truly sorry that your experience with our hiring process was not more positive. As a small firm that prioritizes our clients' needs, our internal processes—including hiring—can sometimes take longer than ideal. That’s not an excuse, but an acknowledgment of where we have room to grow. We are actively working to improve. Since your application, we’ve made important changes to our hiring practices. We now compensate candidates for their time when we request any written assignments, and we’ve implemented more equitable and streamlined procedures to make the process fairer and more respectful for all applicants. We deeply value the time and effort people invest in applying to work with us. Thank you again for sharing your experience—it helps us do better. Warm regards, The Neimand Collaborative Team
