The process started positively with a relaxed 30-minute video call with a recruiter. This was followed by a full assessment day involving group and individual exercises, written scenarios, and a one-to-one interview with hiring managers. I was initially told this would be the final stage. The next day, I was asked to attend an additional online interview with two members of the department, which extended the process further. Overall, the recruitment process took just over two weeks. I was told I would receive an outcome within one to two weeks, but I never heard back. Even after sending a polite follow-up email, I received no response. Being ghosted after multiple interview stages and a full assessment day was disappointing and showed a lack of respect for candidates’ time and effort.
