I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Randstad (Singapore) in Jan 2020
Interview
The interview was with the director of a specific service and she asked many questions pertaining to personal drive, development, reason behind recruitment but I felt I didn't answer her questions too well.
Despite all of that, she told me to write her an email about how I felt about the process and if I was still interested in recruitment - which I still was and completely aware of how difficult it may be. Unfortunately, since that email - she has not bothered to reply me via email or phone and this has left me feeling very disappointed. I had tried to reach out to her but didn't get a reply either.
She has pointed out that many times in, candidates don't reply them or are not sincere. But in this case, she did not bother to say if I've been accepted or rejected. It is a given that people will not provide a reason but this is pretty disheartening that a director from this recruitment firm of such stature does not back its own words.
