Applied via LinkedIn and was contacted by an outside recruiter and then I was interviewed by the internal recruiter. Immediately the follow day or two I had a call with the hiring manager and within a few days they had scheduled me a 4-hour onsite interview. The external recruiter who told me that there may be potentially 2 positions due to one of the perm employees possibly not returning after maternity. He also told me that I was the only person to get an in-person interview out of 15 candidates he sent over. I was optimistic. I went in for the half day of interviews and met with 6 or 7 people. They were nice and it was a business casual interview which included lunch. Then it was the holidays, so I didn't expect to hear from them until after. However, the hiring manager emailed me and invited me to have coffee with her so I happily agreed. We had a very lengthy conversation, about an hour and a half. I felt we had confirmed a few things and I felt confident. She asked for more writing and marketing samples, which I gladly provided over email. However, that was the last I heard from them without reaching out to them on my own. I never received as so much as a "Thank you for your time but we've gone with someone else email." Nothing. I followed up twice and also with the recruiter who finally told me they went with another candidate. I understand they don't owe me a follow up, but after I spent half a day, also a morning on a work day, and a few hours pulling together samples, the least they could do was send me a nice follow up, thank you for your time. At the end of process, they look unorganized, unprofessional and lacking follow through. No Thank You.
