I proposed an idea to my leadership team that we should have a recruiter go through the hiring process (applying, screening, interviewing) and be able to provide feedback throughout the process. It was shot down without any reason but I think it’s a fairly good idea to refine the process? Am I wrong?

No, I think that sounds like an amazing idea. Is your company closed off to self reflection or improvement?

I came up with a few ideas to streamline a process at my company and was shot down too. I finally realized that they just are not open to change. We have been doing things the same way for years and no one wants to take a minute to re-evaluate the current processes. It's so frustrating.

As in one of your own recruiters? How would that work without them remaining anonymous? That’s like a known critic visiting a restaurant - they’re gonna get 5-star treatment. A “secret shopper” would make more sense.

Cold applied for an awesome role, had an interview with hiring manager, recruiter, and given a pretty hefty assignment that I’m really proud of nailing. They followed up with an email asking for 4-5 days that I am available for a full day of interviews. Gave them 4-5 days, started planning for how I’d get those days off work during insane times at current job, and now not a single word from them to confirm a date. Been over a week now. Sad. Pretty jaded. What can I do? Already followed up
