I applied for a position through Indeed and was initially contacted by the HR coordinator to schedule a phone call to discuss my background. Following that conversation, I was invited to move forward with an in person interview and team tour. However, on the day of the interview, it was changed to a virtual meeting, which I understood as circumstances can arise. During the virtual interview, I met with one team member, and the conversation felt positive and engaging. Shortly after, I was contacted again and asked to provide my availability for a second round interview with the full team. I responded promptly, but did not receive a follow up. After reaching out myself, I was informed that another candidate had been selected, despite the fact that I had been contacted simultaneously regarding scheduling the next round. Approximately two weeks later, I was contacted again and told that the selected candidate had not worked out. I was asked if I was still interested, and I agreed to continue in the process. I then interviewed with the department manager, who indicated that I would receive an update within a week however, I did not receive any communication following that interview. About a month later, I was contacted once more by a recruiter regarding newly opened positions and was asked to schedule a call. I provided my availability at the earliest possible time, but again did not receive a response. While I remained flexible, responsive, and interested throughout the process, the repeated lack of follow up and inconsistent communication made the experience feel unprofessional. I would recommend improving transparency and timeliness in communication to create a more respectful and organized hiring experience for candidates.
