I had a first interview with the company, interviewers were friendly and questions simple. I received positive feedback and that I would be hearing soon about next steps. The recruiter, a person from the agency Sphere, disappeared, refusing to answer calls, emails and voicemails. To this day I have no clue about what happened.

Tell me of a time when a client was unhappy about the campaigns performance.

Thank you again for your interest in SMG, and we wish you every success in your future career.
Easy in the beginning, then it turned to total caos. After completing the task interview and receiving positive feedback, the recruiter from Sphere (seconded from Sphere) went in total radio silence, refusing to answer phone calls or emails. Totally ghosted. She left me with "I'm going to find out about next steps" and then ghosted me.

We're sorry to hear that your experience didn't meet the standard we aim to provide. We understand how frustrating it is to invest time in an interview process and then feel left without clear communication.
We do recognise that in this instance, our communication could have been better. We've since followed up directly to apologise and provide an update, and we're using this as an opportunity to reinforce the importance of keeping candidates informed throughout the recruitment process.
We appreciate the time you invested in interviewing with us and wish you all the best in your future career.

I only got to one stage but was rejected cause my notice period was too long for them and they wanted an immediate starter. Although the job ad is still live to this day so I don't think they are really looking.

Why do I want to work at SMG?
Why do I want to leave my current role?
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
We're sorry to hear that your interview process didn't lead to an offer. While notice periods can sometimes be a consideration depending on the urgency of a particular hiring need, they're just one of several factors we take into account when assessing candidates.
We appreciate that seeing a role remain advertised after your application can be frustrating. In many cases, we continue advertising while we're speaking with multiple candidates or hiring for more than one position, rather than because we're not actively recruiting.
We appreciate your interest in SMG and wish you every success in your future career.
