I applied online, completed a recruiter screen, and then interviewed with the hiring manager. The recruiter said they would share feedback once they had it. I followed up about a week later by email and again a few weeks later by reaching out, but I never received a response. The role was reposted two days after my final attempt to connect without any closure. This lack of follow-through conflicted with Thrivent’s stated values of Empathy, Authenticity, and Commitment.
Advice to Interviewers:
Ensure that any commitments made to candidates, such as providing feedback, are followed through. Even a brief update or rejection maintains trust and reflects the company’s values of empathy, authenticity, and commitment.
Advice to Candidates:
The process starts polished, but do not rely on promised feedback. Keep your search moving forward in parallel.
