I had a very disappointing experience during the recruitment process. An HR representative, Leigh, reached out to me, proposed an interview call, and we agreed on a specific time. Unfortunately, the call never happened. I waited, followed up politely via LinkedIn, and never received any response or explanation. No apology, no rescheduling, no closure. This may seem like a small issue, but it reflects a broader problem: a lack of respect for candidates’ time and a lack of basic professional courtesy. If this is how communication is handled at the recruitment stage, it raises concerns about the internal culture and accountability within the organization. Candidates invest time and effort preparing for interviews. Being ignored after a scheduled call is unprofessional and avoidable. I would advise future applicants to manage expectations accordingly.
