I went through three interviews with Shiseido. After the final one, I was contacted by phone and verbally offered the position — I was told I had been selected. However, after that call, I received no further communication for several weeks. About a month later, I was informed that they had decided to hire someone else.
This behavior felt unprofessional and disrespectful towards candidates. Making an offer and then disappearing without timely updates shows a lack of transparency and poor management of the recruitment process.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Shiseido (Singapore) in Jan 2024
Interview
informative and welcoming!
other than the standard “tell me about yourself” this role was focused more on time management.
there was also an excel test because that’s the software most commonly used for this role
