I attended a multi-stage interview process for a role which included a second-stage in-person interview in London, requiring me to take time off work and travel. The scheduling process was poorly managed, with slow response times and very short notice given for interview availability. The proposed time slot required significant adjustment on my part to accommodate. Following the interview, the role was readvertised shortly afterwards without any communication or update provided. I received no response to my follow-up message for approximately two weeks, despite the time and effort required to attend an in-person interview. I eventually received a standard rejection email stating that another candidate had been selected. While I appreciate that hiring decisions are competitive, the lack of communication throughout the process (particularly after interview and during follow-up) reflects poorly on the organisation’s candidate experience and professionalism. This level of communication inconsistency should be a concern for anyone considering joining the company.
