I was put through four interviews and an assignment, which gave the impression Roar Global was a serious company with a professional approach. However, the moment their C-suite stepped into the picture, it quickly turned into a lesson in how not to run a hiring process. After this extensive process, Roar Global presented me with a contract that was frankly embarrassing. Not only did they misspell my name and misgender me, but the contract was filled with blatantly unlawful clauses that violated basic Australian employment laws under the Fair Work Act. These weren’t small errors — they covered key areas like working hours, overtime, and termination conditions. It’s genuinely baffling that a contract this flawed with glaring legal violations made it past their HR and legal teams. When I politely pointed out these serious issues, complete with suggested amendments to make the contract compliant — I also enquired about working from home a couple of days a week to help with focus (which was mentioned in every interview) and a travel allowance for commuting to the office, their response was truly something. Rather than addressing the glaring issues with their contract, they chose to withdraw the offer the a day before I was due to start. Roar Global’s response was to withdraw the offer the day before I was set to start, citing my request for working from home as the reason. Their decision? A textbook example of dodging responsibility, the irony here is hard to miss. Instead of addressing their incompetent contract, they preferred to latch onto an irrelevant point about remote work. It seems they found it easier to blame a simple, well-discussed request for remote work than to fix a contract that was blatantly non-compliant with Australian law. Rather than owning up to their contractual incompetence, they resorted to deflective gaslighting and withdrew the offer. If a company can’t even manage to spell a candidate’s name correctly, it doesn’t inspire much confidence in how they handle more serious matters, nor can one imagine what else slips through the cracks at Roar Global. Advice to Management: Before sending out another contract, I’d strongly recommend hiring someone who actually understands Australian employment law. And while you're at it, a quick spellcheck on your candidate's name and gender might save you some embarrassment. Attempting to sidestep glaring legal errors by deflecting the blame onto irrelevant details only highlights a serious lack of professionalism and accountability at the highest level of the company.
