happening second time in 2 years. phone interviews w hiring manager happen after I email the recruiter. again i have to push them for next steps. Had phone interview with HM last week Monday. Got itchy when I heard no response so emailed recruiter on Friday for next steps and no response yet. Seriously how can they be so lousy with hiring in Bay Area. Drives me nuts when I have to follow up with a recruiter myself. How do they get paid for doing such lousy work?
It happens almost everywhere. It depends on your recruiter and chance that your recruiter is decent usually is not high.
Sometimes (often) they are awaiting feedback from the hiring manager. Bottlenecks are everywhere in the hiring process. Recruiting is always an easy target. They sound very disorganized, though.
Trust me you dodged the bullet
Lol have you ever been on Tinder?
Grindr works the same way lol
I understand your feelings. After all they are human beings and they should at least reply on whatever the result/status is. Recruiting is their main focus and they should know how to deal with this situation if they are so busy.
Because walmart.
Horrible place to work 😬
Walmart recruiting process is slow. Also the recruiters in Walmart don’t have the same incentive as other companies in Bay Area. Plus they are always overloaded with work. Be patient and keep engaging with the recruiter
Or move on and interview for someone else.
Happens with most big companies, not just Walmart, and that's an unfortunate reality. Took them months to finish my hiring even though I was strictly limited by timelines. If you have no absolute life-changing deadlines to meet, you have few other options but to wait.
They get paid because they're going to hire someone else and dont care about your feelings. Not saying it's right, nor what you deserve, but most likely it's the cold truth.
Yeah thats my point. How hard is it to send an automated email telling that you are not a good fit. That’s what I think is known as professionalism.
Why do you assume it is the recruiter? The hiring manager may not have given his feedback to the recruiter. My skip interviewed a candidate, then was out of the office for two weeks. He refused to give feedback. He refused to let us proceed until he did provide feedback. It took three weeks before he finally gave the Thumbs up. Yes, the recruiter should be more responsive. On the other hand, the recruiters I work with are working 14 hour days. I usually cut them some slack.
