I had a disappointing experience during the interview process due to a complete lack of follow-up and communication. I completed two introductory interviews, received detailed information about the role and company benefits, and was asked to complete a time-intensive assessment within 48 hours, which I did. After submitting the assessment, I received no response or feedback, despite multiple professional follow-ups through several channels.
I recognize that hiring priorities can change; however, when candidates are asked to invest significant time, timely communication and closure are a basic expectation. Even a brief update or minimal feedback would have demonstrated respect for the candidate experience. Based on this experience, future candidates may want to carefully consider the level of time they invest in this interview process.
