Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. Recruiting is a very important function at ForUsAll and we take every feedback from each candidate very seriously. We are always looking for opportunities to improve in this dimension.
You are right about the fact that I wasn't prepared for the interview. Normally, I would read the resume and my team's interview notes before my interview. While it doesn't change the fact that I didn't do that, I believe I explained the special circumstance of why I was unable to do that before the interview and apologized to you at the beginning of the meeting.
As for type-casting, I am sorry that you felt that way. We have a good number of employees with large public company experience and value the insights that they gained during their tenure with those companies. In my short interaction with every candidate, I need to make a quick judgment on whether a candidate is the right fit to become one of our co-creators. It is entirely possible that I could be wrong, resulting in a great candidate is not offered the role. Your case may be an example of one of these false negatives. However, given our size and the impact that each hiring decision has on the team, that is where we need to be right now. If we are going to make a hiring mistake, we want to make a false negative mistake, not a false positive mistake.
I'm sorry that it didn't work out this time. While I didn't make the right impression, I wanted you to know that we do everything we can to treat each and every candidate with the utmost respect and to try to provide the best candidate experience.
Best,
Shin
Co-founder & CEO
