Adyen Recruiter approached me on Linkedin, I was open for a call.
The first (video) call went well overall, even though I was surprised that he expected me to prove my motivation regarding working at Adyen - as a headhunted candidate I would expect HIM to tell me more about their company and make me interested in the job. Well, I was familiar with the company and its activity and I made it to the second and the third rounds - all of them were interviews with other recruiters. Every next interview was with a more junior recruiter than the previous one.
Nevertheless, my last interview was the most pleasant and productive one. Finally, in the third round, we talked about my experience, not about Adyen's values and culture.
Two days later I received a templated rejection. The first recruiter was informing me that I was not selected for the next stage, saying "thank you" for applying (I didn't apply actually) for the Product Recruiter position (he never told me it was PRODUCT Recruiter).
I asked for feedback, but they have never come back.
Very unprofessional, I am disappointed with the whole process and how it was coordinated: the link to the job description was broken, no calendar invites ever sent, no possibility to choose a convenient time for the interview ("let's have a call today" is not really professional, guys), no personalized feedback even after 3 rounds of interviews.
Their "formula" says "We don’t hide behind email, instead we pick up the phone". But they do hide. Even though I don't find it a bad idea writing an email before calling someone, in this situation a phone call was really the only appropriate way to close the case.
