I wanted to take a moment to share my recent experience with Turo's hiring process, as it has left me feeling quite disheartened. I initially interviewed for a position at Turo and went through a total of six rounds of interviews. The feedback I received was overwhelmingly positive, which gave me hope for a potential opportunity with your company. However, to my surprise, I later learned that the position had already been filled. Following this disappointment, I was approached about another opening after three weeks. I was eager to give it another shot, but after a round with the hiring manager, I never received any further communication. This left me uncertain about where I stood in the process. One month later, I was approached yet again for a different opening. As the first candidate to interview, I was hopeful that this time would be different. Unfortunately, this turned out to be another prolonged and frustrating experience. I was kept waiting for a staggering 45 days, during which my follow-ups were either met with silence or responses indicating that interviews were ongoing, or that the manager was out of office. After 45 days of uncertainty, I received an automated email notifying me that the position had been filled. This final communication was a stark reminder of the significant investment of time and energy I had put into this process, only to be met with a disappointing outcome. I feel compelled to express my disappointment because it is my belief that the treatment of candidates during the hiring process significantly impacts their perception of a company. It is crucial, especially in these challenging times, to approach candidates with empathy and respect. I sincerely hope that this feedback is taken into consideration, not only for my sake, but for the sake of all potential candidates who may go through a similar experience. It is my wish that Turo's recruitment process can be improved to ensure a more positive and respectful experience for all parties involved.
