Very uncoordinated and unprofessional. The lack of consistent and professional communication was unfortunate. This was not the experience I would expect from any professional talent acquisition team or employer. I fully understand that not all opportunities pan out and I are no grudges I did not move forward in the interview process, but I share my personal experience in this process with Pyrovio in hopes they can continue to create a better experience for future candidates.
I submitted my interest/application because it never hurts to explore a potential opportunity. After several weeks, I received an email from the Office Manager/HR Coordinator stating they would like to have an initial conversation with me. I used the link provided in the email to schedule this call and was given the names of the individuals who would be on the call.
Four days later I then received a second email from the HR Manager/Office Coordinator stating that my scheduled meeting was cancelled because she was double booked but I could schedule a new time by contacting her directly. This was unfortunate, but I understand that scheduling conflicts can occur, so I went ahead and rescheduled for another time and date, where again, I was told I would receive a call from a specific individual. There was no apology for this scheduling error.
I blocked my calendar and prepared for this call, but I never received a call. Then 10 minutes after the scheduled start time I received both a text message and an email from the individual I was scheduled to meet with stating that Pyrovio was in the process of "streamlining hiring timelines" and they would like to move me "onto the hiring manager stage." In place of the scheduled call, I was now asked to provide responses AS SOON AS POSSIBLE to 6 very generic screening questions - one of which being "Are you OK travelling if the client needs you onsite now and then for occasional training (we will reimburse you)?" Upon submitting my responses, I was informed (by text) that I would receive a separate email to schedule time with the hiring manager. Again - there was no apology for this second mishap.
I obliged and submitted responses AS SOON AS POSSIBLE but did not hear anything from Pyrovio for 11 days - until I received a very generic email stating that they would not be moving forward with me for this role.
All in all, a disorganized experience and unfortunate for the Pyrovio employer image.
