The recruiter scheduled a meeting before even speaking with me and asked me to complete a take-home test without any prior conversation. I followed all their instructions, took the time to complete the test thoroughly, and met all their requirements, but I never received any feedback. Overall, the process felt impersonal and unorganized.

Question 1
The one thing they asked me to do was build a simple sticky note app as a take-home test.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Tempo Software (Milan) in Oct 2024

Question 1
I miei precedenti lavori, e come sono in ambiente lavorativo
They initially expressed strong interest and emphasized urgency, asking me to rearrange my schedule for interviews because they were “moving quickly.” After I accommodated their timeline on multiple occasions, they went completely silent. I followed up several times over several weeks with no response. Several months later, I finally received a brief message that they hired someone else.
The lack of basic communication was disappointing. If you’re going to ask candidates to prioritize your process and work around your timeline, the minimum courtesy is a timely update when you’re no longer moving forward. A simple rejection email takes 30 seconds. Radio silence for months shows a fundamental lack of respect for candidates’ time.
Advice for candidates: Protect your time. Don’t rearrange your schedule or deprioritize other opportunities based on their stated urgency. Continue pursuing all options until you have an offer in hand.
