I recently applied for the Software Engineer - Underwriting position in Toronto, Canada. Unfortunately, it was absolutely a FAKE JOB POSTING and a complete waste of my time. The entire process is designed to fulfill their internal KPIs rather than genuinely select the right candidate. Here’s a breakdown of my experience: 1. The process involved multiple rounds: I progressed through a recruiter video call, a 1-hour technical screen, and two 1-hour onsite interviews. All the interviewer comments I received are positive. 2. Polished but misleading communication: While all the engineers were kind and professional, the recruiter was surprisingly friendly—so much so that it later felt deceptive. Before the onsite interviews, the recruiter enthusiastically discussed benefits and compensation and promised me that I would get results within two days after the onsite interviews. 3. Poor post-interview follow-up: On the second day after the virtual onsite, the recruiter contacted me, asking for a time to share an "update" in a positive tone. However, despite my immediate response, I didn’t receive any reply for four days, only a request to fill out a candidate satisfaction survey. Hoping to maintain professionalism, I gave them a very high score, which I now regret. The company was strategically crafting a smooth and hopeful interview process to encourage you to leave great survey feedback before you know the result. 4. Disappointing rejection and lack of professionalism: After six days, the recruiter finally called to inform me that they moved forward with candidates more aligned technically. When I asked for feedback, I was told, "I’m an HR, not an engineer, so I can’t provide any." After asking again further, HR said he will try to collect feedback but never followed up. 5. Continuous fake job posting: The company is still actively advertising the same role, along with several other software engineering positions on LinkedIn. So it becomes clear that HR lied to me that they have already moved forward with other candidates to fill the position. When I inquired about my chances for these other opening roles, I was told I would not be considered. Then HR abruptly ended the call, and I never even received a formal rejection email afterward. I’m sharing this experience for merely two reasons: 1. I regret giving them a high survey score. 2. I want to save other job seekers’ time
