Briefly spoke with a recruiter who contacted me about a phone screening and during the call I mentioned that I had an offer on the table that I needed to respond to within a few days. Within just a few hours of the phone screening, the recruiter reached back out to me about scheduling an onsite interview with the hiring manager and told me a different recruiter would be handling my scheduling. Tons of back and forth on availability with this new recruiter. I was recently laid off, so my schedule was very flexible. However, nothing seemed to work out and eventually after three or four messages trying to schedule an onsite interview, I was told "Oh the hiring manager will actually be out for a week, can you provide your schedule for the following week?" This was unbelievably irritating, as I'm sure this week off was not scheduled last minute and because I was hoping to meet with them before I had to respond to my other offer. (Additionally, it would take her over 24 hours to get back to me on whether my availability matched theirs despite me emailing her just minutes after she emailed me). Finally, I was able to schedule something and when the recruiter confirmed my onsite date/time, she also asked for availability for a 30-minute follow up call after my onsite, which I thought was weird since that is typically done after the onsite visit. Well, either the recruiter is inept at her job or she messed up by asking me to schedule a follow up call because I sent her my availability and didn't hear back for a few days. In the meantime, I was also scheduling to meet with other companies, so I had to send her another message about a change in my availability (even though she didn't even respond to my first availability response). Then I get a vague response saying she was "sending a note to inform me that the hiring team would like to schedule a call following my onsite visit" - which tells me that she didn't either bother to read the first two emails I sent her about my availability for that call. So I shoot her back with yet another email to inform her that the message she responded to had my current availability listed. I also mentioned that if there was a specific date/time that worked best for the hiring team, I could accommodate their schedule easily. But alas, a week goes by and she still doesn't respond (no surprise at this point). I eventually stopped reaching out to her and decided I would just discuss it with the hiring manager during my onsite visit. When I ask the hiring manager how I could schedule the follow up call, I was told I would be contacted immediately afterwards about it. Never got anything. Three days later, I get a rejection letter. Being rejected is disheartening but understandable because if you're not a fit, you're just not a fit. However, the company's process is messy. I get you're a large corporation with various moving pieces and in constant contact with new talent, but you can at the very least respond in a TIMELY manner and not dodge a candidate that YOU reached out to in the first place. I'm giving this a negative experience rating just because it really didn't feel like the contacts I had at the company cared about me as a candidate.
