Behavioral
The HR team at Despegar contacted me directly, expressing strong interest in my profile and offering an employment opportunity. We scheduled a call, but it was missed initially due to a scheduling error on their end, which they apologized for. We rescheduled, and I had a standard HR interview where my background and the role's details and benefits were discussed. I never received any follow-up feedback from the same HR representative.
