I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Qubit
Interview
After applying through their website, I had to do a quick phone screening interview with HR. After that I was interviewed by phone by a manager for ca 1hr.
They told me they would get back to me in any case by the end of the week. Nothing happened and I sent a follow-up email, which was also unanswered.
This is really unprofessional. Since I invested a lot of time preparing for the interview and had to carve out time from my usual workday, the least you would expect is a simple acknowledgement. If I’m not the right fit, that’s OK, but send me a simple line (as you promised).
I am working in a field where I can make purchase decisions for the personalisation software. Qubit, don’t forget that your reputation is suffering by poor HR practices. Probably I dodged a bullet.
I applied online. I interviewed at Qubit (New York, NY)
Interview
Probably the worst HR experience I've ever had - very unorganized and a complete disregard for people's time. The HR woman rescheduled our interview 4 times over a period of 3 weeks (during which I found another role) - 3 of which were rescheduled either at the designated interview time or 10 mins after (i.e. I received an email to postpone while I was waiting to speak with her)...
Just a word of advice - if you are looking to recruit good talent in the New York digital space you need to have a sense of urgency, have good time management skills and be cognizant of people's time. People have busy schedules so having your schedule disrupted 4 times for no apparent reason is not a good way to a) create/promote a positive brand image and b) recruit.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were none as by the 4th interview rescheduling I had already found another role.
Hi,
I sincerely apologise for the negative experience you had with us during the interview process. We take candidate experience very seriously at Qubit and I’m sure the rescheduling was a disappointment for you.
It would be great to have the chance to speak to you about our process and improve it. Please feel free to reach out to me via Workable.
In the meantime I wish you all the best in your new role.
Best,
Alistair Fraser
Director of People Operations
