A recruiter emailed me for scheduling an interview for the position of a Structure Design Engineer at Rivian. As a diligently interested candidate, I provided my availability for the following day afternoon which was confirmed by the recruiter. Being a working professional, I cleared my schedule for this interview and made required preparations for it. Following day, early morning the recruiter emails me saying that this position is being filled and therefore my interview will be canceled without speaking with me. In my career, I have never been disappointed by an interview process like Rivians. This tells me that there is miscommunication within the company and the recruiting department is incompetent in doing their job. To Rivian, please do not get candidates excited about the interview and reject them without having an initial conversation. It is unjust, disrespectful and dishonorable on your part to do it. If you have sent out an invite, then you make sure that you respect the time and efforts of the candidate. A word of caution to candidates interviewing at Rivian, please re-confirm with the recruiter if they are genuinely interested in interviewing you and would not pull a stunt like this one. Rivian has failed in providing a good recruiting experience.
