I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ocubis (London, England) in Aug 2025
Interview
Countless positive calls with recruiter. Apathetic and indifferent approach by hiring manager/founder (of subsidiary not on Glassdoor). Decision made on personal preference, not on qualifications. A lot of mention of the young team and he told recruiter I would likely not be a good fit, which felt a bit ageist .
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Ocubis
Interview
Interview was terminated after 15 minutes. Unfortunately the role wasn’t a good fit, they were after something very specific and my experience is more general, so I understand the rationale behind cutting the interview after 15 minutes. It is far better to do this than waste peoples time and I respect them for doing it. However, the way in which it was done was pretty rude and there was no interest in my other skills which would have been useful. The manager seemed annoyed at me for having wasted his precious time despite my name being put forward by a recruiter and my cv being truthful - so not sure what could be done. All the best to Ocubis, hope they find what they’re looking for.
