Entrevista
Phone interview with a Recruiter, meeting with the Hiring Manager, task and a stakeholder interview. While the process does not require a significant investment of time, the team is not great at following up or communicating. Throughout the entire process, it was emphasized that they needed to hire a number of Recruiters to support the growth of the business but streamlining the process and moving candidates along in a timely fashion for a key role does not seem to be a priority. While I enjoyed some of the conversations that I had, it does seem like the team rolls out the red carpet for certain demographics that fit in with the current team and string others along - DEI is performative.

I recently had a very disappointing interview experience. The conversation was rushed, with the recruiter from UK moving abruptly from one question to another without giving space to respond fully. The entire interview lasted barely 20 minutes, with no proper introduction about herself or the role, which set a poor tone right from the start.
Unfortunately, the process felt dismissive and unstructured, as though it was being done just to tick a box during the holiday period. As candidates invest time and preparation, experiences like this leave a negative impression of the company.
I sincerely hope the organization reviews and strengthens its talent acquisition practices to ensure candidates are treated with professionalism and respect. A better candidate experience goes a long way in building a strong employer brand

I was sourced through the recruiter and during the call, the recruiter ask some key screening questions. Through the screening questions, the recruiter said you didn’t answer the questions and you should used the STAR approach. The recruiter should be more specific if they were looking for some answer & said clearly it is not a fit. This role has been open for the longest time in Singapore. I guess we know why

The interview process for this type of role is very long and unneccasery, 7-8 rounds meeting various employees and each time you have to explain your Experience again which can be frustrating as seems lack of communication across process. Too long to be taking up candidates time and could be made shorter.
