I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Ernest (Sacramento, CA) in Aug 2024
Interview
First connected with Recruiter then spoke with a sales manager who recommended i speak with the general manager at which point an offer was made but rejected based on low comp
Two recruiter screens then another 3 rounds to complete the process. After the first in person round, never received an update on my standing until a month after when they had already hired someone else. Had also reached out with no response before that.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ernest in Sept 2025
Interview
I went through three rounds of interviews - one with the corporate recruiter, one with the hiring managers, and one with the Director of Merchandising. I was completely ghosted by the recruiter after multiple follow up emails. After a job candidate spends so much time investing in the company - doing research and preparing for interviews, it is extremely unprofessional to be ghosted and ignored.
