First I met with Vicki, the internal recruiter. She was really nice and made me feel comfortable. We chatted about my CV and past experiences and why I left my last job. It felt more like a conversation than a typical interview, which was great. Vicki then told me about the company's goals and growth plans, and how the internal recruiter role fits in, plus future career progression. After that, I met the CEO, Carl. He also made me feel relaxed, and it was more of a chat, setting a good vibe for the rest of the interview. We mostly talked about my previous recruitment experience and my future ambitions and how they align with the company. He also shared more details about the company's long-term plans.

Getting a response was really tough. I went through all the phone and in-person interviews, and then after that, I waited for ages to hear back. I followed up multiple times with no response for days. They said they'd get back to me, but they never did. And then, out of the blue, after waiting for days, I got a rejection email. It was a really bad candidate experience. If they want to be seen as a trusted brand, the first thing they need to fix is how the recruiting team treats candidates. Not giving updates, not responding, and making candidates wait in the dark for days shows zero respect.
