I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Macy's (Brooklyn, NY) in Sep 2016
Interview
My interview took place at the Macy's Downtown location. I arrived at 10am and waited for about an hour to be interviewed. Other candidates, who were applying for sales floor staff positions came and went, since there was a specific person who was supposed to interview me for the supervisor position I had sought. Time finally came for me to interview and I'm walked to a small room with the gentleman I had been waiting for since I was told he was in a meeting. Before the interview, he gave me his personal cell phone number to check with him on the status of the interview. He asked me standard questions regarding my experience in a leadership role and things seemed to have gone just fine. Near the end of the interview he asked me how much I was currently getting paid, I told him and I proceeded to ask him what the salary range for the position I was interviewing for was and he stated that he wasn't sure. You aren't sure about what people at the position you conduct interviews for are getting paid?!! If he did know and didn't want to tell me, that doesn't help matters at all by leaving the candidate in the dark about what the potential pay for the position may be. Why else am I sitting in front of you? If he didn't know, that's just embarrassing, and he should be educated on what information is needed to give potential employees. At the very end of the interview, I asked him how long it would take to know whether I had received the job or not. It was a Thursday and he told me I would know for sure by Monday, and to contact him on his personal phone on Monday to follow up. I contacted him and he said he will get to HR about my application and will let me know. Fast forward to three weeks later, and I have not heard anything from anyone. It's lazy, unorganized, and unprofessional to waste an applicant's time like that. Remember, applicants aren't only potential employees, but potential customers as well.
There should also be multiple people involved in the recruiting process.
