Everyone I met was lovely and the interviews were structured as more conversational, which was a plus. My only critique is having someone do 5 interviews and then sending a generic two sentence rejection email was a slap in the face. It was something the interviewers and I discussed in my interview about sending more personalized rejection interviews and the importance of candidate experience, and that is how they reject people? It left a really sour taste in my mouth - will never even attempt to interview here again & don't recommend to others.

Question 1
How do you preserve candidate experience at all times in the interview cycle?
Initial screening call with the recruiter.
5 stages of remote interview with members of the team and leadership in Ireland and the US.
4 Interviews arranged to be back to back in one day.
I waited 2 weeks after the final interview with no contact. I reached out to see if there was an update and was told there would be by the end of the week. 2 weeks later I still hadn't been given an update.
4.5 weeks after the final interview I was emailed to say I was unsuccessful. The recruiter asked for availability for a call to give some feedback but after providing some times I never got a response. The recruiter did not reply to the email or give me a call or any feedback.
I was rushed through the process at a great pace but after the interviews were complete there was no contact at all.
Really poor candidate experience. Personally the worst experience interviewing I have ever had based on the lack of communication.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Asana
Interview
To be honest I was approached by a new hiring manager at Asana, about a recruiting opportunity. It was very unclear if it was for Business Ops/Sales or Marketing recruiting, seemed like a hybrid of both. I was never given a job description (strange!) but went through the interview process. The questions felt pretty standard, I was surprised we did not go into more detail around sourcing and strategy. I probed more on DEI, as I heard that was a big focal point for Asana, but I didn't really get any answers other than that there was a new Diversity and Inclusion Manager so TBD? It seemed like they were in a bit of a rush to hire someone perhaps as there was talk around Asana IPO'ing soon. The whole process was a bit underwhelming and disappointing, I had heard such good things about Asana but coming from talent acqusition, the experience was pretty poor.
