We all know the job market is terrible, and I’ve decided to start holding companies accountable for treating struggling Americans like they’re not people. So I’m leaving this review, and I hope it inspires others to do the same. I was especially motivated because Star Seven Six bragged about how “wonderful” their interview process was. Here’s what actually happened: the recruiter pushed me through the process quickly, saying they wanted to “wrap up fast.” I took that as a good sign and rearranged my schedule to prepare for next-day interviews. The final interview was on a Monday, and then, nothing. I followed up at the end of the week to check in (since recruiters ghosting candidates has become the norm, unfortunately). No reply. I followed up again the next week, finally got a call, and the recruiter seemed anxious and disorganized, which told me I probably wasn’t their top choice. Three full weeks passed with zero communication from anyone. When I finally reached out to the CEO to let him know that the “amazing interview process” he was so proud of had actually been disappointing, he told me I “just wasn’t patient.” Patience has nothing to do with professional communication, that’s just an excuse. If this company’s communication is that poor, and their leadership can’t grasp why leaving a candidate hanging for three weeks is unacceptable, then I can only imagine what their internal culture is like. I realized I didn’t want to represent them in any sales capacity. It was fine if they wanted to choose someone else, that’s business. But I won’t be treated like I’m not a person. I hope everyone remembers how Star Seven Six treated potential candidates while people across the country are just trying to find stability. Not so patriotic as the name implies, huh?
