I was very excited to receive a phone interview request from Spotify and unfortunately that's where the excitement ended. Our phone interview was rescheduled multiple times when I finally received a call it was the wrong time. During our convo the interviewer ironically prefaced how important the candidate experience is. I was told about next steps but never made it to the next round because all I heard afterwards was radio silence. After multiple unanswered followups I figured where I stood but if Spotify can utilize machine learning to predict what songs I’d like, an update and or even an automated rejection should be standard part of their recruiting process. As a superfan of Spotify and a recruiting professional this experience with was so disappointing.
