I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hofy (London, England) in Apr 2022
Interview
The interview process was quick, efficient and informative. There was never a point where I was left wondering when I would next hear back. Hofy set clear next steps which worked for both parties.
Initial call with the recruiter who was very pleasant and informative.
Interview with CCO who seemed disinterested from the outset and not at all personable. I may have caught them on a bad day but I left the call feeling that I was an inconvenience to them on that day and cut me short every time I went to speak. Not a great experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Hofy in Apr 2022
Interview
Invited for an interview with Hofy Hr, Harriet. The interview went well and I was scheduled to meet COO (Michael). Michael cancelled the meeting 30 minutes before with no explanation. I had made special provision to work from home that day. I contacted Harriet, who said he was pulled into an important meeting. Ok things happen. The interview was rescheduled and once again I work from home, Michael joins the call late and apologies for running 4 hours behind, he was travelling in India, eating while on the video call. He gives me 15 minutes to talk about my experience and says he would normally ask a few account manager questions but I seem like a good fit so we will talk when he is back. He says he is travelling back the next day. A few days later I follow up with Harriet who tells me Michael is still travelling (interesting). A week or so goes by and I am told the job has been placed on hold and it will be some time before they come back to me. Strange as the new VP of sales has just shared a link to the job on LinkedIn. A few weeks later the job posting is renewed on LinkedIn. A polite follow up to Harriet goes unanswered.
If you don’t want to hire me that’s your discretion but there is no reason to lie.
Glad it didn’t happen! Not a company I think I would enjoy working at after all.
