I have given 6 interviews so far, made it two round for 2 of them. I rejected one, the other hasn't sent me an update yet. With this little or lot (?) of experience with hiring processes I have realised that if they don't come back to the very next day it's a reject.

I have so so so many things to complain about the hiring processes and I need to know if its me alone blaming it outwards or it is a broken system. [Rant in comments]

1. HRs on linkedin say "recruiters want you to win" but why do they give close to nothing when asked "Could you share what will be the focus of this round?". Latest interview, a tech round - the HR told me "SQL and tech ques" - didn't clarify if it will be exercise-based or analytical. The actual interview - no tech ques, I am going on about APIs in my intro, next thing my guy is asking me how will you "brand" a new site through the old site.

2. Interviewers are not fully prepared? So many times it's been that they are thinking questions on the spot or switching topics instead of exploring further.

3. Rejections to "resumes" being standardised is acceptable but to interviewing candidates too? You and I took out time to have a 30-60 min chat and you have nothing to say to me that a little personalised?

4. AI AI AI AI AI

5. Hypocrisy? How can companies use AI to take interviews but not be open for the candidates to use AI in the interview?

6. Linkedin!!!!!

7. Can linkedin penalise companies which never take off their 'vacancies' or keep reposting them?

8. What do even recruiters do all day? if they cannot even manage coordination with their candidates?

Take a month or two off working and use that time to plan thoughtfully on my next move. Would having that gap in my resume be an issue when I go back to the job market?
