Entrevista
The first stage went really well , the recruiter was lovely, and I felt it could be a great opportunity. During our call, she immediately said she wanted to move me to the next stage, which was a design task. After completing it, I sent it as a PDF, as is common practice. She then asked if I could share my Figma file, which I usually don’t, but I felt this could be a great company to work with, so I did.
After that, there was silence for two weeks. Then, I received an email with no feedback, just a message saying the company’s situation had changed and they were no longer hiring. Later that week, I got an automatic email from their hiring platform saying they were recruiting again and I even saw a new job post on LinkedIn.
I completely understand if my skills weren’t the right fit, but not providing feedback or being honest after a design task feels really shady and disrespectful.

Hi
Thank you for adding your feedback - we do really appreciate your transparency on the process as we are always looking for ways to improve and we're sorry the process ended the way it did.
For context on the Figma request: we ask to see working files because, seeing how a design is structured is as important to us as how it looks. It tells us a lot about how the work will hold up for engineering in a build. Files shared during our process aren't retained and candidates' work stays their own.
On feedback, we always aim to provide it, and every task is reviewed by an in-house designer. We apologise for not sharing anything beyond the rescope message.
The rescope itself was genuine with the role reshaped to be more senior and strategic which is why the original posting closed and a different one went live later. If you'd like to reach out, we'd be review your work again and share more insight.
All the best and thank you again for taking the time

3–4 rounds: an initial conversation with the recruiter, followed by a take-home assignment. If that goes well, you’ll then speak with the hiring manager, and finally do a culture-fit interview.

First two stages were the normal meeting and greet and the internal recruiter was lovely!
Progressed to meeting the ‘right hand man’ to the two founders who gave me all 90 seconds of his time. He came across very arrogant and didn’t allow me to answer any questions I was told to prep for. Big waste of time for all involved
