I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Convatec (Auckland, Auckland) in Mar 2021
Interview
Received a phone call from the recruiting agency (could have potentially been internal HR) - ask very generic questions about attraction to the position and past experiences. They also started rolling the punches and diving into specific questions around pay expectations, my current salary, starting date which I thought was a bit abrupt for an informal interview.
Didn’t receive any follow up or anything else regarding the position. So, oh well! Tried, tested and never again!
I applied online. I interviewed at Convatec in May 2026
Interview
Two stage interview, first with an internal recruiter, second with the hiring manager.
Initially organised very well and welcoming interviewers however following completion of the second round of interviews the internal recruiter did not provide any outcome to the process.
Despite multiple requests for clarification in the following month, there were no responses on outcome or any feedback provided.
Mixed feelings: I interviewed for two similar positions in a space for a few months. Everyone I talked to was very nice, friendly, and lovely to talk to. The first position was "closed for hiring" but it's still up online. The second one seemingly ghosted me as it's been almost a month since the interview and I haven't heard back
