I was approached by an Amgen recruiter about a position. I agreed to speak with the recruiter and, after learning more about the company and the role, decided to formally apply. A few weeks went by, and I didn’t hear anything from Amgen so I asked the recruiter if there was a status update. I was told that they were still gathering feedback about candidates from the hiring manager but that they would follow-up with me. Since I already have a good job, I wasn’t too worried about it. But here it is almost two months later and still no feedback or communication from the hiring manager. Apparently the hiring manager has selected a few candidates to move forward and has not provided any feedback or direction on quite a few others. This is simply not good business practice nor is it the way to lure talent and enhance your company’s reputation in a candidate’s market. Still, I’m glad I learned about how the company — and this hiring manager — operate before I took a job with them. Do better, Amgen.
