I want to start off by staying I really like this company and what it stands for and I was excited to join the team. However, after making it to the end of a very lengthy and time consuming process, speaking with the founder of the company and having a positive conversation, I received a generic rejection email message a few days later, “...Thanks for your time, but the competition is very fierce amongst a group of highly qualified applicants...” I understand that this may be true because Boldly takes the time to thoroughly vet each candidate, but to get through several rounds of written and video questions as well as live phone/zoom calls (a lot of time away from work and family!) and get such a vague response was a complete slap in the face. It was very disappointing, Boldly. I expected better. If a candidate makes it to the very last step please have the decency of giving a more personalized response as to why he/she did not get the position to help that person improve to find other work. Your mission is about HELPING PEOPLE. See that through to the very end.

I completed on online application after carefully reading their job posting. I met all the requirements and had the skills and experience they were looking for. I also connected my LinkedIn profile as instructed and a week later received a rejection email explaining they wouldn't be moving forward and it had "nothing to do with my skills and qualifications." Interesting...I wonder what caused my application to be rejected then.
