The company reached out to me to apply for this role. I previously worked at one of their competitors. They even fast-tracked my interview process so that I would go straight to the design brief stage. Upon presenting the work to them, where I created more than 20 designs, and developed artwork and supplied fabric information, they stalled and then 3 weeks later said I did not get the role as they did not want someone from their direct competitor now work for them. Since not getting the role they have used/stolen my designs from this design brief. before undertaking this role, it was not expressed that they could use designs once the interview process was complete. I am devastated they would do this. The awful interview process was enough, but to see them steal a designer's work is just gut wrenching.
