The recruiter I interacted with displayed poor communication and a lack of professionalism. I initially applied for the role on LinkedIn and was subsequently contacted for a Zoom screening call. The recruiter, who initially scheduled the call, had to reschedule at the last minute. When we finally connected, I felt the recruiter was disconnected, exhibited off-putting body language, and seemed disengaged, which came across as rude and unprofessional. Although I understand everyone has off days, I strive to maintain professionalism with clients. After about a week, I received an automated email stating they were proceeding with other candidates. Given my qualifications and internal references, I expected at least a second interview. I reached out for specific feedback on why I wasn't moving forward, but received no response. While I understand it was an initial screening, I invested time in researching the company and role to prepare. I believe they could have at least shared the hiring manager's feedback regarding areas for improvement. They should improve their communication and strive for professionalism, even on difficult days. I am generally flexible and believe most candidates are. If experiencing a personal challenge, it's better to reschedule than to make candidates feel their time is being wasted.

Behavioral Technical Presentation Case

The interview process was great, starting from the HR chat all the way through to the hiring managers and then a case study. They laid out each part of the process at the beginning. I always got feedback afterwards. The questions they asked were on the spot and really aimed at figuring out if someone would be a good CSM. I really liked the energy and flexibility of everyone. The case study did take me a bit to prep since the product isn't the simplest, but the interviewers were chill and understanding, which made it easy. Overall a really good experience!

Behavioral Presentation

Interview was pretty straightforward. There were a few interview rounds (phone and in-person), and they asked questions about my past experiences in making sure customers are happy. I got through a few interviews, including a one-on-one, face-to-face chat with the hiring manager. I thought it went really well, but after a few follow-ups, I never heard back. It's a bit discouraging because I was really keen on the role. A few months ago, I saw the job posted again, so I reached out to the recruiter then, and still no response. I did not hear back from her either.
