Assessment day + Interview at the end. Around a month or so ago, I was invited to attend an assessment day after a recent application to them as a Recruitment Consultant. The assessment day itself there was relatively easy and relaxed (to a degree; excluding two higher ranked employees that made it obvious every move of yours was being watched). I eventually progressed to the last stage of the day which involved an interview; three people from this day were not as they were told they were unsuccessful and I imagine it was fairly unceremonious. The interview was very much centered on my CV and some questions on why I want to work there. This seemed OK to me and I was fairly confident asking their questions as it was all fairly natural. In all, I felt I did good enough to be selected for a second interview at least. I did tell the interviewer afterwards that I had a holiday the next week and thus assumed I would hear back from them either before hand or after I come back. Did I receive an email or phone call? No. Not one. They clearly considered me good enough to be put forward for the interview stages so why would I not at least be told I was unsuccessful? I find this absence of contact extremely unprofessional, even more unbelievable considering how "big" this company claims to be. Nurturing relationships between themselves and people is their game but they seem to forget keeping contact altogether with the people who want to work with them. Highly unprofessional.
