My experience with TikTok’s recruiting process has been consistently disappointing. The recruiters appear to operate in a highly competitive internal environment, which results in disorganized behavior — including claiming candidates without understanding the role fit or alignment. After scheduling interviews, the assigned interviewer failed to show up twice. When she finally joined on the third attempt, there was no acknowledgment or apology for the prior no-shows, and it was clear she was unprepared. She was visibly distracted throughout the conversation, her attention shifting across the screen rather than engaging with the discussion. Following the interview, I received no feedback or follow-up regarding next steps or a decision. Overall, it was an unprofessional and frustrating candidate experience.
