I sent in my application and was contacted to arrange a phone interview. I prepared for the interview, cleared my diary for the morning of the interview and had a 20-minute phone conversation with a person from the HR department. I didn't hear back for more than a week so decided to follow up with an email asking about their decision. I never heard back from anyone in the company.
It is alright not to be put through to the next round but it is quite unacceptable not to inform the candidate about the decision especially since they were chosen for an interview and had invested time and effort in the process. Based on this bad experience I can only be glad not to work for a company that treats potential employees in such a fashion. Extremely unprofessional.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ECORYS (Birmingham, England) in Aug 2018
Interview
Applied on both LinkedIn and Indeed, not sure which application they accepted. They emailed me a few days later to schedule an interview. I turned up and was greeted by the receptionist.
An interviewer came down to get me and led me to the room where the other interviewer was waiting. They took turns asking questions. At first they were simple ones like what do you do currently, and then became more difficult such as 'tell us about a time...'
At the end, they asked if I had any questions for them, which I did
