I had a very good conversation with the interviewer once we got to the point of having a discussion. The process getting there was not great and had holes.
One it was suppose to be via video but the interviewer no called 2X She said it was a technical glitch and hopefully that’s what it was. The challenge I had was neither time did this recruiter send me a text, email saying - I’m waiting doe u on video are you having trouble logging on?
That’s what I did as the candidate. I know best practices as a long term HR & TA professional this is basics- price of admission.
You send your candidate a note. You assume positive intent. You assume they are there and I indeed was. I sent a screen shot of the spinning wheel of the video saying waiting for the interviewer to open the room.
So my feedback to others. Drive the process. Don’t let them.
Just make sure if the interviewer doesn’t show for the interview to message them -it’s either a technical glitch or a No call no show (ghosted) by the recruiter:interviewer.
Do you know how many other candidates have been ghosted that never followed up?
