Certinia is PE owned. The UK based recruiter reached out to me directly for a 30 minute meeting. We had an upbeat conversation and she spoke of next steps, hiring manager. I asked how she felt about our discussion and she seemed very positive. However, I did not progress to meeting the hiring managers. The position was filled by someone from a competitor company, I learned after following up. Many of the team members from this company worked for my former company, including the CEO, and have done well. I would like to have had the opportunity for further conversation.

After the talent management contacted me, I had an interview with the hiring manager. The next step was to prepare a ppt presentation based on a 'pretend' customer and scenario. The guidelines given were very poor and, in fairness, there are better way to engage with candidates.
