Humiliating interview process. A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn in mid-August. We agreed to have a brief phone screen in late August. There were four rounds in total, including the initial screen with the recruiter. The second round was a Zoom interview with a member of the hiring team in early September, followed by another round in late September, and a final presentation round in late October. The final round required a 20-minute presentation about past experience, with specific examples and a prepared slide deck, followed by a 10-minute Questions and Answer session. It only took them 48 hours to send an automated rejection email with no indication of where I might have fallen short. The fit seemed obvious, and I’m left wondering what kind of candidate they’re truly seeking. I strongly advise against applying or interviewing for this role, as the hiring team appears detached from reality. It seems they’re searching for a candidate who doesn’t exist, and I doubt they’ll fill the position externally anytime soon. Save yourself the time and energy. The recruitment process is disingenuous and feels like a humiliation ritual.
