Awkward process. First interview went very well. Second interview was extremely awkward. Interviewers had not looked at my resume before the interview. Seemed disinterested in my answers. Appeared to be doing other work during the interview.

The recruiter set up a video interview with one of the Senior HR Business Partners; it was a pleasant interview - not terribly in depth about the job but appropriate for a first interview. I reserved any further questions since she indicated I would next be meeting with other members of the HRBP team and leaders. I asked if there were any areas where she felt I lacked qualifications (so that I could address them then.) No, she replied, she liked that I had the PHR and SHRM-CP. I sent a genuine thank-you email because it had been what I thought was a good interview and I was looking forward to moving forward in the process. Then … crickets. It’s probably been 4 months by now and I never heard ANY follow-up on that interview. If you’ve met with a candidate and they’re not what you’re looking for, send them an email or call them. Wrap up the process. It’s part of your job in recruiting and it’s the professional thing to do. It tells me so much about the company I was considering working for when they would treat me this way as an applicant.
