Completed a comprehensive, multi-stage process with AND Digital: HR screening, a formal presentation/interview, a Club Leader session, and a final face-to-face with the UK General Manager in London. The early stages were highly engaged and efficient. However, the moment the final interview with the GM concluded, the business went entirely dark. Despite multiple direct, professional follow-ups via email and text, the recruitment team and leadership have chosen absolute radio silence. For an organisation whose entire brand and client-facing proposition is built on "remarkable people" and an empathetic, modern culture, this is an ironic failure of basic professional manners. Investing significant personal time, preparation, and travel into an executive-level process, only to be treated like an expired lead, speaks volumes about the gap between their marketing and their actual operational values. Advice to AND Leadership: Guarding your employer brand requires consistency. If your GM can take an hour to interview a candidate face-to-face, HR/Talent can take 20 seconds to send a definitive response. Ghosting after the final stage is a terrible look for a boutique digital consultancy.
