Overall experience: Very Negative I applied for the Technical Success Manager role via an internal referral and submitted my CV. The application was rejected within approximately five minutes, without any interview or feedback. What could be improved: Overly aggressive automated screening The speed of the rejection strongly suggests an automated filtering process rather than a human review. Given my background and experience, I believe my profile was a strong match for the role and deserved at least an initial conversation. Missed opportunity to assess senior candidates Based on the role description, the position aligned well with my experience and would have required minimal ramp-up time. However, no opportunity was provided to discuss fit or transferable skills. No feedback provided The rejection contained no explanation, which makes it difficult to understand the decision or improve for future applications. Advice to recruiting: Review automated screening criteria to avoid filtering out qualified candidates Ensure referred candidates receive at least a basic human review Provide minimal feedback, even for early-stage rejections Final thoughts: The process felt transactional and dismissive. Bugcrowd may be missing out on strong candidates by relying too heavily on automated rejection without review.

The recruiter asked to schedule an interview using her calendar link but she was booked several (3+) weeks out. Had to email to check on something sooner. I passed the initial screen and scheduled for a second interview with 2 hiring managers the following week. A day prior to the interview I received an email canceling the interview because they filled the position. Very unprofessional as people take time off from work, plan and prepare for these interviews. They also ask you to watch a 30 minute video on the organization to prep. How do you select your candidate without completeing interviews? Very odd.
