I first attended a video interview with the local HR, after which I was assigned an assessment to be completed within 48 hours. I submitted it as requested, and shortly after, I was informed that I had been shortlisted for a quick call with the HR Director based in France. The process initially seemed promising, and I felt confident about my chances. However, the outcome was ultimately disappointing — the HR Director appeared to underestimate my capabilities despite the effort I put into the assignment, implying that my experiences had some gaps & did not meet their expectations. Local HR was good, however, I felt that the process should have been done in a better way so that only the chosen/selected candidate will be assigned to do the assignment after both HR keen on that particular candidate since we’re taking time off to complete this. If the assignment I did was not up to par, I wouldn’t have been “shortlisted” for a quick call with the HR director only to be told that my experiences doesn’t align with the qualities that they are looking for.
