I’ve had two separate experiences with the hiring process at Mews, two years apart, both of which were unfortunately disappointing. In the first instance, I applied directly for a position I was very interested in. I had initial conversations with a recruiter and then the design lead, which seemed to go well. However, after a month of no communication, despite my follow-up messages, I received an automated email informing me that other profiles had been chosen, with no opportunity to receive feedback or understand how I could improve for future opportunities.
More recently, I was approached by a recruiter who reached out to me privately because my profile aligned well with a position. I went through an initial HR interview, but since then, I’ve heard nothing. Given my previous experience, I’m doubtful that I’ll receive any follow-up this time either, especially as I’ve seen the position has already been closed.
These experiences have made me question whether Mews prioritizes a respectful candidate experience. The hiring process is often the first impression candidates have of a company, and how it’s handled reflects how employees might be valued internally. I hope this feedback can help highlight the importance of clear, timely communication and transparency in the hiring process, as it plays a crucial role in building a company’s reputation.
