I applied online and got some recruiter email asking to complete a predictive index assessment and the next morning I got hit with “we moved on to other candidates” ?? I never got a phone screening call at least? Made me think twice to working with them as they base their opinion on someone from a index? Before speaking with the applicant ?? Guess I dodged a bullet.

I was able to secure an interview and it was awkward. The lady asked a lot of redundant questions kind of fast-paced. I could have come more prepared to expound on my past employment but as a recent college grad, I did not have much. They pitch the recruiting assistant job like it's entry-level but they don't really take a chance on you.

If I were to title my experience with Aya, it would be "A Bad Relationship". I initially heard about Aya through a recruiter at a job fair. I applied about a month later. After receiving a phone call from a representative asking me to fill out a personality test (simple, took less than 3 minutes), we set up another phone call. The first phone call was scheduled for 9 am, he called me around 9:15 am. The phone call was very in depth and ended up lasting about 45minutes. He then asked me if I was free to speak to someone else that same day in the afternoon. The person called me three hours early and we talked for about 30 minutes. The phone calls were hoenstly the exact same conversation, and basically just giving more detail to my resume. A few more phone calls were exchanged with the inital recruiter. Then I went in for an in-person interview. I arrived and was asked to wait because the girl conducitng my interview was out to lunch. About 10 minutes after our interview was supposed to start, she arrived, and I was led into a private meeting room. I had been told by the recruiter on the phone that she would intentionally not show very much emotion. This interview was very basic, and I had no complaints about the questions. I was then told that the next step was to go in for another in-person interview. I was given a start date, and was in constant communication with the recruiter, so I was led to believe I was doing well in the process. I recieved a voicemail telling me he would call me "first thing in the morning" to discuss "what our next steps are moving forward". This is where my experience with Aya really takes a turn. The next morning, no call. Waited until Monday at noon and still did not hear back so I called Aya. The person told me they would need to call me the next day. The next day, I got a text message saying he would call me "tomorrow". At this point, I am obviously aware that they are not going to offer me a position, I just didn't understand why I got a voicemail asking me to "move forward" if we weren't moving forward. Finally, two days later I got a phone call telling me I did not recieve the postion. The whole process took about 3 weeks and honestly felt like a huge waste of my time.
