I was contacted by a recruiter who indicated that my background closely aligned with what they were seeking. After my initial response, there was a five-day delay before hearing back, at which point a time was scheduled for a call and a Google Calendar invitation was sent for two days later. Unfortunately, the recruiter did not attend the scheduled interview. I followed up immediately after the meeting time and did not receive a response for another five days. When a response was eventually provided, the recruiter cited illness and a change in business needs. While I understand that unexpected situations arise, it is difficult to accept that within an organization of this size there was no mechanism to notify a candidate or facilitate a cancellation. The lack of accountability and communication reflects a disregard for the interview process and candidates’ time. Based on this experience, I will be steering my professional network away from this organization, as it is clear that respect for this process is not a priority.
