The process dragged on for over two months with multiple delays and inconsistent updates. Communication was vague and at times non-existent; I often had to follow up to receive any sort of response. After multiple interviews and being told I was the final candidate, the company rescinded the role due to client instability—something that should have been factored in long before final stages. Felt strung along without transparency or respect for my time, energy, or professional commitment. Offered a lesser, one-month position after withdrawing the original role, which felt like a fallback rather than a genuine opportunity. Advice to Management: If you’re going to run a hiring process, please ensure the role is fully scoped and budgeted before moving candidates through several rounds of interviews. Respect people's time and be upfront about client dependencies or internal uncertainties from the beginning. A clearer, more respectful hiring process reflects better on your agency’s reputation—especially in a tight job market.
