The first conversation was positive, but no follow-up or closure was provided. Surprising and disappointing for a company focused on supporting expectant parents to offer such a lacking candidate experience

Entrevista
I interviewed with Oula in Feb for the Recruiting Manager and you can tell they need someone who specializes in recruiting on the team asap. It is a challenging role to interview for because as recruiters we have very high standards for what the candidate experience should look like.
My first interview was reschedule 2x and I felt that the person who was screening me left out some critical questions ie. comp expectation, timeline, etc.
The hiring manager interview was only 30 minutes long and the HM seemed very rushed to her next meeting during my call. Overall the call was quick and I felt as if there was 0 selling of the brand on the call and felt as if the HM was bothered to be on the call. Hopefully they focus on the candidate experience in the future.

Unpleasant and sporadic.
Looks like they're making their first internal recruiting hire which makes sense as the current process is a disaster.
Didn't take about performance or how to approach strategy around time-to-fill, pedigree of talent, only spoke about DEI efforts. Which is obviously great and should be integral part of the interview process but cannot be the only barometer for success in a high-growth start-up.
Again, I know the individual recruiting for this role isn't a recruiter themself so you can't expect this process to be a magical experience but I'm hoping they find someone fast so they can avoid a damaged reputation from a talent perspective.
