I applied online in September 2020. 1. I first had a phone screening with the recruiter (30-40 minutes) where we talked about the job description, my background and potential fit 2. Received an email shortly thereafter telling me I was on for an interview with the COO a week later 3. Interview was COO was more of an open discussion about the company vision and plan, which I very much appreciated. 4. I then had a follow-up call with the recruiter to check on how the interview had gone, and then was booked me on an interview with the Director of Supply. Also asked me whether I wanted to do the data case study before or after my next interview -I chose to do it after. 5. Had an interesting interview which ended by the interviewer saying that we would definitely speak again later after I would have completed the test/case study. 6. Then it kinda went on radio silence for 3 weeks before I heard from the recruiter again. I was first asked whether I was interested in carrying on with the hiring process -to which I replied I was- before being told that actually, other candidates were better suited for the position blablabla. In hindsight, I thought it was both a bit weird and very different from the rest of the hiring process which had been mainly ok. But what would you ask a candidate if they're still interested in applying if you know you're going to reject their application. That's the main reason why I thought this was overall a negative experience.
