This post is informational and for awareness. I got contacted by Flexport in early october and went through recruiter screen and then phone screen. After that I went for their first round of onsite of 3 hours. That was last week of October. After that I’ve never received a single communication from them. Today I received a candidate survey for the interview process. I can tell you this is the first time in my interviewing experience I experienced this kind of unprofessional behaviour of not letting the candidate know about the outcome. I’m not here to suggest whether you should do interviews with them or not, I’m just sharing my experience. N.B - No I dint try to contact the recruiter in between.
It's unprofessional to not get back to candidate after on-site, but the survey thing is automated and based on my experience pretty standard in tech.
Agreed and I did respond to the survey!
> I dint try to contact the recruiter in between Why not? Aways follow up, else it looks like you don’t care.
I don’t think that’s the expectations from a candidate. As a candidate I took 3 hours of my time to go and visit and gave 3 rounds of interviews. It’s part of the job of a recruiter to inform candidates irrespective of whether the candidate cared or not! I cared enough to give 3 hours of my time!
I wish that were the case, but unfortunately it isn’t. Many recruiters are dealing with batches of dozens of candidates and you gotta push them to get what you want or they completely forget about you. You can keep whinnying that it isn’t fair or adapt. Just follow up after interviews, it never hurts
I had my phone screen cancelled twice an hour before they were supposed to happen. So I gave up on them.
Good job
I'm sorry you went through this. We're trying to improve our HR process. DM me the role you interviewed for and I'll be happy to look into it
Really. I am looking forward to know what is the ETA to have heard back from them. They just did not tell me. And they mentioned the leveling is a mystery.
I had similar experience with them. Followed up twice but no response.
