I applied online and rang for an informal discussion. This was followed up with an arranged phone interview with an HR manager. 10min after the arranged time, I was called by an assistant to say the person was in another meeting and would ring me in a while. I was then called back to say they wouldn't be able to make it and had to reschedule. I managed to find some more time later that day. The question were gernally behavioural competency-based. I was told to expect feedback within 5 days. A week and a half later, I emailed asking for an update and was told by the assistant that I would find out soon. Over a week later I was told my application was not being progressed. Overall, I was very unimpressed with the way my application was dealt with, especially considering this was HR for a communications company.

I interviewed for an associate medical writer role and submitted all requested materials, including writing samples. I was told I’d hear back early next week the following week. Two weeks later, I’ve followed up twice and still haven’t received any response. As someone who took the time to prepare in my busy schedule, attend the interview, and submit work, I find the complete lack of follow-up deeply unprofessional and disrespectful. If you’re not going to move forward with a candidate, at least have the courtesy to send a basic rejection. This experience reflects poorly on how Nucleus Global (Inizio) values potential talent. I would caution others to consider whether they want to engage with a company that treats applicants this way.
