Very scattered interview process. I was asked to complete 4 phone interviews over a 4 week span which was a complete waste of time since I was then told afterwards that they had a pending offer for the position. In my opinion, this was unprofessional and lacking regard for the candidate experience. I would have appreciated honest feedback early on so that I could direct my energy towards finding other roles instead of preparing for each interview week after week. A bit of advice. The candidate experience is the first step in creating a positive employee culture in which people feel appreciated and motivated to stay with a company. If negative feelings are generating outside on the streets and prospects are being treated in this way, how is the bad press effecting your current staff, their referrals, and retention rates.
