I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Oxford Properties (Toronto, ON)
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me to interview for a project manager role. This process took four months and required 3 interviews and a case study.
The interviewer was late to 2 of the interviews she actually attended with me and didn’t show up for my case study. I rescheduled my case study presentation for the sole purpose that I spent upwards for 5 hours preparing a deck.
The recruiter informed me they decided to go with an internal hire and no feedback was provided on my actually performance.
Exhausting process with more touch points than a similar Government-based role. Interviewers who are managers should be accompanied by human resource professionals who are experienced in recruitment, score fairly based on job requirements and related experience, ask relevant questions, and don't feel intimidated by individuals who are more accomplished than them. The overall impression and vibe I get from this organization after going through multiple interview processes is poor, the overwhelming majority come across as cold and out of touch.
