Three step interview process with recruiter, second interview was a panel interview with management, and final interview with plant director. Fairly simple process at no point did it feel uncomfortable they just wanna know a little more about you and some of the past projects that you have done.

Pretty horrible interview experience with this company. I was contacted by a Niagara recruiter encouraging me to apply to the Manufacturing Development Program (MDP), so I did. The recruiter reached out to me the following day and we scheduled a phone call for that week. Spoke with the recruiter a little bit about my background and the position. The recruiter said they would get back to me in a week or so. Didn’t hear back from the recruiter until about 2 and a half weeks later. The recruiter cited “scheduling issues” as the cause for delay. The recruiter asked me if I was still available and interested in interviewing with the management team based out of their plant in Seguin, TX, to which I replied confirming my interest. A video interview was scheduled for Monday the following week. Monday comes around and I go to join my scheduled video meeting with the Seguin management team, but I was unable to join the meeting. The recruiter had sent me a faulty meeting link, and by the time I contacted the recruiter and we got to the bottom of things we had to reschedule. We rescheduled the interview for the Friday of that same week. I was honestly fine with all of this up to this point. I get that mistakes/delays happen. However, once Friday came around, I joined the video interview room, but nobody from the Seguin team joined. I was ghosted completely. I emailed the recruiter explaining that nobody had joined the meeting, to which the recruiter replied with an apology and said that they “understood if I was no longer interested.” I received no explanation whatsoever about why I was ghosted, and the recruiter made no mention of rescheduling. I was really interested in this position, so I indicated to the recruiter that I still wanted to go forward. The recruiter replied scheduling a phone call with one of their current MDP employees the following week. The individual was nice, and we had a good conversation about the position, but the individual had no idea what my current standing in the interview process was, and I had to explain what I had gone through. I asked what the next steps were, to which they replied that I should just get back in touch with the recruiter and ask to reschedule the interview. The individual was nice and informative, but why was I even directed to speak with them in the first place if they were just going to direct me back to the recruiter? The individual also said that when I do reschedule my interview that I should call the plant a day or two ahead of time to confirm the interview. I personally don’t think it should be my job to make sure the team is keeping up with that stuff. Not only was I ghosted in my interview, but they offered zero explanation and appeared to be in no hurry at all to rectify the situation. After this point I lost interest. The company’s hiring process seems very disorganized, and they wasted a good bit of my time.
