The interview process was confusing and felt disorganized. The HR representative scheduled the interview for one role, but when the call began she referenced a different position. When I tried to clarify, she stated the titles were “interchangeable,” even though they appear as separate roles with different descriptions on the company’s career site.
The conversation then shifted to questions about experience in areas that were not listed as qualifications in either job posting, which made it difficult to understand which role the interview was actually for or how my background aligned with what they were seeking.
After the call, I looked at other Glassdoor reviews and noticed similar feedback from candidates who said they were interviewed for roles different from the ones they originally applied to, which suggests this may not be an isolated issue.
I also never heard back from the HR representative after the interview. Even if a candidate isn’t the right fit, companies that take the time to follow up and close the loop leave a much better impression than those that ghost applicants.
Advice to Management:
Ensure recruiters clearly understand the roles they are hiring for, keep interviews aligned with posted job descriptions, and provide basic follow-up communication to candidates after interviews.
