This position was posted on LinkedIn as an Entry Level position with 1 to 3 years of experience. I have 8 years of experience and checked all the boxes listed on the job req. In my initial call with their Talent Recruiter, I was told this team has met with several candidates with no success and that I would be their last to interview. If there is not a fit, the team would re-evaluate their needs. Over the course of 2.5 weeks I was moving through the process quickly; I met and interviewed with 5 people, the 5th being a C-level executive. That last (5th) interview consisted of mentioning several failures of ROI through the organization, to the point of feeling the current direction was not supported and the ship needs to steer right. I gave a few suggestions of customer/client engagement that was not currently being implemented. He took notes and then at this point we reached at the 30 minute mark of the interview and he had a hard stop. In closing he said he wanted to continue this conversation and possibly bring in some of his direct reports that I previously interviewed with. I followed up with a Thank You email with a mention of a mock-up program that I put together consisting of additional areas of engagement to consider; thinking this could be presented in the "To Be Continued" conversation. After a week went by, I reached out to their Talent Recruiter and received the reply of "Thank you for your time however, the team would like someone with more experience"... If that was the case, it should have been caught well before the 5th C-level executive interview, unless someone's sabotaging the hire. Now a week later, the position is still posted on their website and LinkedIn.
