I applied online. I interviewed at Shift4 in Dec 2020
Interview
My phone screen was re-scheduled multiple times. I was looking forward to getting the process started because the recruiter was nice and the company sounds like it's really growing and innovative. However, the recruiter rescheduled three times, and then told me she would pass my information to the hiring manager. Also, that another recruiter would stay in touch with me since everything seemed to continuously be delayed. However, no one reached out.
After a couple of weeks, she reached out again to do the phone screen. Over the phone, it was mostly her mentioning how the environment would be different, and I might not be qualified for the role. It was a slightly unpleasant phone call, and I was hoping for something a little better since there was a lot of miscommunication and delays within the process.
In the end, I never heard from her again.
I applied online. I interviewed at Shift4 in Jan 2021
Interview
I applied for this role in December and spoke with someone at the company in early January. She said she would also spread my resume around the company based on my experience. I emailed her 3 days after we spoke to have her take one of the roles I was curious about off the table and was given no response. Not even the courtesy of a "we're sorry the role has been filled" canned email. I have a decade in the restaurant POS world especially in the world of gift cards and loyalty programs and have a good understanding of payments and such and would have been a great fit but my concern is that I was ghosted and apparently so were others for this same role. Shift4, if you are truly actively engaged on this page, you will remove those in hiring roles who do not engage with their applicants. Recruiters are the first contact we have with your company and they too must provide excellent customer service. It can be as simple as a note that the role has been filled or that the applicant is not who is being looked for to fill the role. It can be a phone call or a text. After all the recruiters have the phone numbers. Ask yourselves: how can one expect its employees to provide world famous customer service if its recruiters do not extend the same courtesy?
I am sorely disappointed as even if I would not have been a good fit I would like to have at least had a chance.
