Very status quo for a luxury brand company. The interviewer missed our first interview claiming computer issues then almost missed the second. I had to call them. This is their own HR dept. recruiter. I was given a timeline for when next steps would occur and it included waiting a week - ten days for someone to return from out of the country. When that timeline passed, I reached out to check in because the role sounded like it had extraordinary potential, but heard nothing. Six weeks later I get a badly formatted standard email declining to proceed because of the volume of applicants received. That's literally the response. The challenge in trusting an overworked under supported person with department or executive directors is that they quite literally filter who runs the company based on their technological abilities, emotional intelligence, note-taking skills and associated bias. I guess the silver lining for good candidates is that you don't want to work for a company that is this process broken. Who's holding them accountable for the quality of candidates & the time to hire? I bet they're losing a good deal of new hires in the first 30, 60, 90 and a ton more all over the P&L with productivity, efficiencies, workplace safety & time and attendance. Based on this interview process or lack thereof I am guessing that they place far more value on their products than their people.
