I had a disappointing candidate experience. I was scheduled for a phone screen, but no one called at the scheduled time. I followed up afterward and later received an explanation that the interview had been canceled because the hiring requirements had changed, but that the cancellation message apparently had not gone through.
I understand that role requirements can change, but candidates invest time preparing for interviews and should be notified promptly when a scheduled interview is canceled. The recruiter was polite when they eventually responded, but the process felt disorganized and not very respectful of candidate time.

Question 1
The interview did not take place. I was scheduled for a phone interview, but no one called at the scheduled time.
- recruiter screen: went through the qualification bullet points in the job description verbatim, line by line asking if you have experience Y/N
- asked if I have experience with JQL, attempted to explain it is simply a way to query JIRA like many other solutions and that although I have not needed to do it in the past few years, it is a easily picked up similar to SQL, python for which i have experience
- recruiter stated they needed someone with 'expert JQL skills' and stated if this changes they will follow-up and ended the call immediately.
- If you are looking to hire product/engineering talent you should look to have recruiters that have the bare minimum understand as to what exactly this role/requirements are instead of asking yes or no questions
J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Endava (Bengaluru) en mars 2026
Entretien
Only lasted till the first round, which was taken surprisingly by a Delivery Manager. Quite perplexed to be interviewed by a delivery manager who knows nothing about the product. Product Management is very loosely used these days to make a position demanding; however, it's all hogwash
