I was contacted by a recruiting coordinator for an initial phone screen. The call with one of the recruiters was arranged quickly and took place a couple of days later. We went through my background and experiences, talked about the role and responsibilities. Pretty standard. I was then told that they would need a couple of weeks to determine next steps and that I will hear back soon. Well, after four weeks and two follow-ups, still nada. The irony is that every company emphasizes candidate experience (no exception here), yet, most have a hard time adhering to their own "best practices," BUT as a Recruiter-candidate, you will be judged harshly on your approach and philosophy. HelloFresh is no exception. Feels a bit hypocritical, given that (apparently) candidates don't deserve a followup email.
