      Recruiter Interview

      13 Aug 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Lehi, UT
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ancestry (Lehi, UT) in Jul 2019

      Interview

      I had an hour and a half long phone screen, and two on-site interviews with multiple staff, each lasting about two hours. After about two weeks of not hearing anything, I got an automated generic decline email with no additional feedback or contact in any way, despite my reaching out soliciting feedback about why I was not selected and what I could do to improve as a candidate. Ancestry claims to be “client obsessed” as one of their central values, which the interviewers proudly boasted throughout the interview process in how they put such great effort into the candidate experience, but this couldn’t be further from the truth in my experience. Not every candidate can just get up and go to several interviews as if they have no other commitments. My situation in particular requires a lot of sacrifice and extensive coordination to make an interview process like this an option.
