I had an initial phone call with the recruiter who was great! Her and I hit it off and spoke for 30 minutes about my experience, specifically with my experience in L&D with a major US airline. She mentioned that the hiring manager was interested in my resume because of this experience. I confidently answered each question because the role was, more or less, exactly what I was doing in my previous role. We had a wonderful conversation and at the end, she informed me that "the hiring manager asked me to put a star next to a candidate that stands out, bu I'm going to put five stars next to your name!" Of course, I felt excited and confident! Our conversation was on a Tuesday. At the end of our 30 minute call, she said she would align with the hiring manager to find time for me to speak with him. Over the next few days, there were a couple back & forth emails in which I thanked her for her time and offered a Starbucks voucher to "get a coffee on me because we wouldn't ever have a chance to get coffee". She politely said she couldn't accept, and that was fine. The next email came on Wednesday, In which I requested to speak to her before I spoke to the hiring manager because I had something I wanted to tell her about my personal situation. She immediately responded and said a Friday call would be okay. She had not aligned with me on a time to speak to the hiring manager at this time and on Friday, took the call with me. I told her that I was six months pregnant and that it was important to me to be fully transparent. She told me that it wasn't a problem, that she, herself, had kids at home and that the culture at Dexcom was open to hiring someone pregnant. I was completely put at ease and excited to hear from the hiring manager. I never heard from her again and never received a call from the hiring manager to interview. I reached out after not hearing from her for a week, and immediately got the following response: Hello, I hope you are well! I heard back from the hiring manager and he has decided not to move forward in the interview process at this time. I appreciate the time you took to speak with me, as I really enjoyed our conversation. I wish you all the best in your career search. Best regards, Following that email, I was pretty upset and confused, because I was under the impression that a meeting with the hiring manager was in the works. I politely said thank you, but asked for feedback on my interview so that I may try again in the future - especially considering the initial interview went so well. I emailed at least three times, and received nothing. This was upsetting because we had such consistent communication the week I was interviewing with her, so I couldn't help but wonder why I was not getting a response. I have yet to hear back from her or Dexcom regarding my interview to get the REAL feedback. Based on this, I cannot help but feel that I was discriminated against because I was pregnant. If it wasn't, than why tell me I would speak to the hiring manager when HE was the one interested in my background and the Recruiter in fact confirmed that I was what he was looking for? If I wasn't hired because I wasn't qualified or someone else was more qualified - why tell me I was and start to set up a time with the hiring manager? I've been a Recruiter and I am HR certified, I know that sometimes you're just not qualified or the HM is looking for something else - but all interactions / communication with the Recruiter led me to believe otherwise. I really hope I'm wrong, because Dexcom is a company I admire greatly and I have a personal connection with. Their device has LITERALLY saved my husband, who has type 1 diabetes, and I wanted to partner with them. However, if this company doesn't support working mothers - or gives the impression that they don't - than I hope others feel compelled to speak up. I would very much appreciate if Dexcom reached out to clarify, and I have tried to reach out to others at the company to discuss my experience, but I've heard nothing. In a COVID world, woman more than ever are feeling the pressure to leave the work force - and I hope that companies are doing their part to retain talent - no matter the sex or circumstance. Overall, I was very discouraged by my experience with Dexcom talent acquisition and the company in general. I hope I'm wrong about Dexcom - but if i'm not please, other women SPEAK UP!
