I'm sorry this candidate had such a negative experience. We interview a lot of people, and not everyone makes it through to an offer. We discussed with this particular candidate at length her lack of experience on the phone, her lack of sales experience and the fact that she was moving from a position completely unrelated to sales or logistics. That's the reason we didn't have any more "reservations" at the end of the interview. We also explained to her that we needed to complete her background check/credit check and discuss her interviews with EVERYONE who interviewed her that day - HR, a sales team member and ourselves. I'm not sure how us deciding, after a lot of deliberation, to not offer to her, makes us less transparent. We don't limit compensation for sales staff and we do provide a lot of growth potential internally. But being transparent doesn't mean we guarantee everyone who interviews a position with us. We hire a specific number of people in each class and we are very selective about who those people are. Sometimes, candidates who think they are the perfect fit aren't that perfect in our eyes.
