Disappointing Candidate Experience for a Senior Leadership Role Your recruiting team is the "front door" to your company. For a Senior Leadership role, candidates expect a certain level of professional courtesy, preparation, and engagement. Treating candidates like items on a conveyor belt is a massive red flag. You are likely losing top-tier talent at the very first stage because your process signals that you do not value people's time. Please train your talent acquisition team to be present and respectful; they are damaging your employer brand.
