A Serious Warning to Applicants: Misleading Job Process & Disorganized Leadership My experience with Skilled Wound Care was one of the most unprofessional, misleading, and time-wasting hiring processes I’ve encountered in my career. I was dragged through multiple rounds — detailed interviews, several formal assessments (which they told me I scored extremely high on), and an entire strategic presentation built around the specific market I applied for. The job posting, every early conversation, and every project requirement all centered on this one market. I reinforced repeatedly that this was where I lived, where I had experience, and where I intended to work. Everyone seemed aligned, and the team appeared genuinely excited to onboard me. Then the final interview happened, and the real story came out. A senior female executive opened the call with, “We can’t wait to have you in ______.” She was referring to a market on the other side of the country, not even remotely close to the location I applied for. I was stunned. I clarified that I was applying for the job posted on LinkedIn — the one explicitly tied to my own region. She seemed shocked and admitted that I would actually be expected to spend two weeks every month traveling to this faraway territory. She acknowledged this “should have been mentioned earlier” and implied she would reprimand her team. That admission alone tells you how deeply broken their internal communication is. And rather than taking accountability or addressing the obvious bait-and-switch, her tone shifted instantly — from enthusiastic to cold and defensive. It became clear that this was not a small oversight but an internal leadership dysfunction that left me misled through five rounds of interviews. The trust was gone immediately. I withdrew my candidacy and accepted an offer from a far superior company. For anyone considering applying here, be aware: the role you think you’re interviewing for may not be the role they are actually hiring. Critical job details may be withheld until the very last minute. Recruiters and leadership do not appear to communicate with each other, and candidates are left to invest hours of time into presentations and assessments for positions that are completely different from what was advertised. This isn’t simply unprofessional — it’s a major red flag about how the organization is run. If Skilled Wound Care wants to maintain credibility in the talent marketplace, leadership needs to align their internal teams, stop misleading candidates, and rebuild a hiring process that demonstrates respect, clarity, and basic transparency. Until that happens, applicants should approach with extreme caution.
