I interviewed for Checkr about two months ago. I interviewed for the sales recruiter opening, and I had a great first interview. I was told that I was moving to next steps. Thus, the next steps were to do an assignment, which took me about an hour. I submitted the assignment and never heard back from them. I was ghosted. My advice to the TA team- if you're going to have someone put in their personal time to do an assignment for your organization you best get back to them. Reputation and brand is a critical in any organization, especially when you are recruiting talent . Ghosting maneuvers on canididates not a good look.

Interview
My interview process with Checkr went on for 35 days and I had an extremely negative and poor candidate experience. Despite positive feedback and the hiring manager wanting to move forward with an offer, the panel had a different agenda. I met with more than 5 people, prepared a very involved, time-consuming project that had 10 prompts disguised as 2 prompts (it came out to over 10 hours of unpaid work), and then did a presentation for final round interviews. I waited for more than a week for an update and had to follow up several times to see if there was any news.
It was also clear early on that the real decision-makers for the role were not a part of the interview process. I met with mostly people in the People org, not the key stakeholders/hiring partners for the role. Based on the final feedback I was given for why we weren't moving forward, it sounded like hiring partners came in last second and changed the profile. The new profile they wanted for the role was not only more senior than my background but also more senior than the hiring manager! The company has struggled for years to retain and scale their People team, so I knew going in it was messy, but it seems they still have not figured out what they need in their Recruiting function. It probably didn't help that the tech industry is going through layoffs and public markets weren't in a great place for an IPO, investing more in the People team probably wasn't a top priority.
