Candidate-reported interview process

I started with an online application. Then, I got a call for a phone screening, and after that, I had an in-person interview at their site where I met the team and got a facility tour.

Após a triagem do currículo e uma entrevista inicial por vídeo, participei de outra entrevista com o RH. Foi uma conversa rápida, mas, como sempre, não recebi nenhum retorno. Fiquei sabendo que a vaga foi encerrada apenas quando verifiquei no site de candidaturas, pois não me avisaram por e-mail. Cheguei a enviar um e-mail para o recrutador perguntando sobre o status, mas também não tive resposta.

The process took a long time and I didn't get much feedback. They asked questions about how I'd fit into the role, but the hiring manager was slow to decide on next steps. I feel like they could have been more thorough.
