I had three interviews in total. First was a screening with the recruiter. Then I spoke with the team director. The last interview was with a panel of three directors: the North America territory director and a senior CSM.

  • I did a mock sales call for a company of my choice with one of the individuals on the team where I had to basically get a company to re-sign their contract on the phone at that time.
  • After the call, they gave me feedback and told me to try again and wanted to see how I implemented their feedback.

I applied online for a role in Sydney, and filled out a bunch of application questions in addition to my cover letter and resume. After that, I didn't hear anything back and was basically ghosted, not even a generic rejection email. Then, about 8 weeks later, I got an automated 'Meltwater 2024 Annual Wrap Up' newsletter which talked about the company's biggest wins and achievements for the year, and a corporate 'happy holidays' message. So yeah, I applied for a job, got ghosted, and they added me to their marketing email list instead.

I applied on LinkedIn in mid-July and got a notification on Aug 7. The HR was hard to reach, taking nearly 2 weeks to schedule an interview. I emailed them and got a reply 2-3 days later. They scheduled a phone interview and then moved to the next step with the hiring manager. They called me just 2 hours before the scheduled hiring manager interview to cancel, saying the manager had another appointment. It felt very disrespectful, and there was no follow-up about rescheduling. After chasing them a few times, they finally told me they were moving forward with another candidate. I think the company should review its recruitment process to avoid such an uncomfortable experience.
