Very poor communication throughout the process with HR. Great experience with the hiring managers in person, but the HR process was messy. Asked questions about my current role and company that felt almost too prying, and then got ghosted for 6 weeks after my in-person interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General role questions, but also very detailed questions about the structure and hierarchy of my current company.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Dream (Toronto, ON) in Sept 2025
Interview
Interview was two rounds. HR round was a phone call and the main interview with the Manager was virtual and it was just like a casual work related conversation with a person you just met.
I applied online. I interviewed at Dream (Calgary, AB) in Feb 2026
Interview
Ghosted.
I had a disappointing experience during the early interview process. After several calendar/time mix-ups with the recruiter (interview scheduled on EST for an Alberta role) ,we did manage to connect.
The introductory call itself was fine and we discussed the role in detail. At the end of the call I was told to watch for a calendar invite for an in-person interview with the department director.
That invite never came.
After a week I followed up by email and never received a response. Having worked in the real estate industry for over 20 years, I found the lack of follow-up surprising and unprofessional. Ghosting candidates after an interview is simply not acceptable.
