After undergoing a 3-stages process (phone call, video call and face-to-face interview) in order to apply for a different role, I was told that someone with more experience had been offered the job but I was also asked to apply for another role within the company as the two hiring managers were very impressed with my interview and thought I could be a good match for a different role available at the time. Although lacking formal training and extensive experience in the role, I was encouraged to apply anyway and, after an initial phone interview with the hiring manager, I was asked to attend a face-to-face interview since I was displaying the right set of transferable skills. The interviews for each role were both very pleasurable and enjoyable experiences and I was grateful for the opportunity that I had been given. Unfortunately, 7 weeks have passed since then and no feedback has been provided. Even worse, two emails, sent respectively to the recruiter and to one of the hiring manager, were left unanswered. It is a shame that companies like this do not understand people's deep emotional involvement when going through a recruitment process; that they do not show any respect for such people; that they do not value the huge importance to still provide meaningful and enriching experiences that could be helpful for people’s careers and developments, regardless of whether a job offer is made or not at the end of the process.
