My dear friend got a rejection for a corporate job at Caffé Nero today. And, tbh, they can kick rocks. As a hiring manager, I can recognize good practice VS bad. They requested seven interviews, usually with the same people. They commented on what she wore. They made her jump through hoops to give a new recruiter they hired “practice.” They waited weeks to tell her “No,” despite many follow up emails. It’s easy to lose sight of, but can we PLEASE stop being so shitty with hiring practice? (Cont)

(Cont) If you need seven interviews, including presentations and free work for anyone less than an executive position, you’re just shitty at recruiting and have a blatant disregard for your candidate. My friend is so, so good at their job, but it’s getting harder the longer she’s unemployed (layoff, not at fault). I’m not saying they had to hire her, but they didn’t have to string her along. (For the record, she’s too kind/polite to say any of this herself).

So — as hiring managers, I’m begging you to consider the candidate experience, shorten the hiring process, keep the demands on their time reasonable, and just generally try not to be a shitbag.

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

Helo everyone, I had an interview scheduled with Cognizant on last week of Jan 2022 but due to technical error in Verification code I couldn't join interview lobby. I reported the same to the HR and I was told the interview will be rescheduled. Now there's no update from the HR. Could you please guide me how can I proceed or any email address to which I can inform to take the rescheduling process further.

Thanks in advance

From interview perspective, I enjoyed lucidworks interview as the interviews taken by quality people compared to other two companies. But it is a startup.

Btw, I have been interviewed for 6 rounds in Citrix and waiting to hear from them.
