The recruiter was very rude and and the process was rushed and disingenuous. A day later received rejection email stating rejection was due to the role requiring more inter departmental collaboration experience. This was very strange feedback to provide seeing as my resume prominently contained this skill, and during my phone screen, I discussed my interdepartmental communication and collaboration up to regional level. I honestly felt she was annoyed with 2 questions I asked her....two. One that really set her off was me asking if there were any internal candidates. Luckily, this was only an extra interview or job prospect as I was already in the final stages with other orgs, but this experience turned me completely off from ever applying to any roles here. Recruiters should not be in recruiting if they are unable to check their bias, attitude, and impatience at the door.""

Interviewed for Operations Manager role. Had a genuine and engaging conversation with the Regional Director. Felt strong mutual connection and was told the timeline was 30 to 60 days. Received a generic HR rejection email with no feedback or acknowledgment of the conversation. For a company that values authenticity and connection in their culture the candidate experience did not reflect those values. Would have appreciated even brief personalized feedback after investing time preparing and interviewing.
