I had an initial 15–30 minute phone screening. I was disinterested after, I reached out to the recruiter to tell them I would not be going forward. Over the following weeks, the recruiter contacted me repeatedly by phone and email, which gave the impression the company was struggling to find qualified candidates. I proceeded with two interviews — one with the Director of Tax and one with a Senior Manager. I prepared extensively and asked thoughtful, relevant questions. I left the conversations feeling they had gone well. The feedback I later received stated that I appeared “disengaged” and “would not be coachable.” It was vague, lacked any constructive or tangible points for improvement, and felt more like a personal jab than professional feedback. If this is how the company treats applicants during the hiring process, I have serious concerns about how they might treat employees. There are many organizations that value professionalism and respect — I would encourage candidates to seek opportunities with those instead.
