The interview spanned over about 3 to four weeks. After speaking back and forth via phone and email with the recruiters and woman that was overseeing this position, I was asked to come in for a face to face meeting. The Friday before my Monday interview, I was asked by the woman overseeing this position, to create two presentations. I was tasked to create two 10 minute interviews - one of my choosing and one about LexisNexis. The woman overseeing this position (who I had spoken to several times via email/phone) sent me a scenario and asked how I would handle it. I would be presenting this to her and 3 of her staff, face to face. All of this was fine.
I should mention that the face to face interview was one hour/60 minutes exactly because they had interviewees coming in every 75 minutes. The interview itself was fine. I met with four women and they were pleasant.
My issue is how I was treated after the interview. Some of my question(s) the group couldn't answer and said the recruiter knew. So when I got home, I sent my question(s) to all 3 recruiters that I was working with, because I wasn't instructed on which recruiter to contact.
I'm a human being. I spent a lot of time preparing for the interview, printing and bringing in handouts for it and spent several hours rehearsing for it. Obviously, you are not going to hire every single person that interviews, but you can treat us all with dignity and respect.
Instead of anyone following up with me via email or phone - especially the recruiters since I had just reached out to them via email or the woman in charge of this position (who I spoke with again, several times via email/phone plus met in person) to answer my question(s), I received a robo-auto email from LexisNexis. I am not a number nor am I a machine.
Again, I am a human being that spent my time preparing for the two demos and rehearsing. I'd advise against doing this in the future. Some of those you are interviewing currently may be unemployed. So instead of looking at and applying to other jobs, going on other phone/face to face interviews, time would need to be spent on preparing for the interview, commuting to and from the interview, then actually having the interview. So it would make sense to treat people with dignity and respect. A simple quick phone call or email letting the interviewee know that you have chosen to not move forward with them would suffice. This would take about 3 minutes or less. I hope LexisNexis Human Resources looks into this matter.
Of note, no one ever reached back out and answered my question(s).
