I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding my recent interview experience for a position within the Procurement and Construction Departments. My experience was highly irregular and suggests a significant lack of internal coordination and professional standards.
Specifically, I would like to highlight the following points:
Misrepresentation of Vacancy: After multiple rounds of interviews with the Manager and VP of Procurement, it became apparent that a defined role did not actually exist. Inviting a candidate to interview for a non-existent position is a poor use of professional resources.
Lack of Interview Preparation: During the second phase of the process, I met with the VP of Construction, who appeared to have no prepared questions or a clear understanding of why the meeting was taking place.
Inconsistent Communication: While the initial feedback was overwhelmingly positive and encouraging, the lack of follow-through and the disorganized nature of the subsequent steps were contradictory and unprofessional.
I believe these practices reflect poorly on the company’s employer brand and merit an internal review. I hope this feedback serves as a catalyst for improving the recruitment pipeline and ensuring that future candidates are treated with the transparency and respect their time deserves.

Met with the recruiter only today. This was more of an informational interview rather than a business interview. His job was to share the details of the company and the overview of this position.
