Kind of a joke, to be quite frank. Found the role in LinkedIn's job listings (which had only been up two days by the time I found it), applied, was contacted by a recruiter late the next day, and asked to provide my availability for an intro call. The next morning, after receiving an invite to the call (which wasn't emailed to the same address I'd been communicating by, but to an alternate email address that I'm unclear as to how they discovered), I replied "yes" to the invite and emailed the recruiter asking for clarification of a detail about the upcoming call that I noticed in the invite. Shortly afterward, I received an automated cancellation email for the call, then an email from the recruiter saying Yardzen had decided to move forward with another candidate and that their timing was off. Utterly bizarre. I don't understand how there could be such misalignment between the recruiter and hiring manager, or why they decided to move forward with another candidate before ever even speaking with me despite the recruiter claiming I had a "very strong" background. Total waste of time and a horrible first impression of this company. The only other interview for Yardzen at the time of writing accuses the company of poor treatment of a candidate on the basis of race; while I'm a minority, I think it's worth noting that I don't feel this experience was rooted in discrimination or "microaggressions," but in what appears instead to be a troubling trend of a lack of preparedness and unprofessionalism on the part of today's recruiters.
