I was referred to this company twice, a year apart, and both experiences were extremely disappointing and unprofessional from the recruiting team — especially given the consistent positive feedback I received throughout both processes.
The first time, in 2024, I was told an offer was being prepared. Two weeks later, after multiple follow-ups, I finally learned the position had already been filled. Disappointing, but these things happen.
A year later, as a referral again, the same situation occurred. I completed multiple interviews, received messages indicating that we were on track for an offer (I had an offer from a different company and they knew it), and then communication simply stopped. Emails, calls, and messages went unanswered for weeks, with the last communication dropping off after asking my availability for a final chat with the hiring manager.
It’s difficult to understand why a company would repeatedly tell a candidate they’re moving forward and things are going great, only to disappear. Once could be an oversight; twice suggests a pattern.
Both times involved different recruiters and hiring managers, which makes the consistent lack of follow-through even more concerning. If the decision is not to move forward, that’s perfectly acceptable — but leading a candidate on about an impending offer or at least a conversation and then cutting off communication reflects very poorly on the company’s hiring process and respect for candidates.
