I applied online and then about a week later, I received a call from a recruiter (this was not scheduled in advance). The recruiter asked me what I understood about Hollis and the role which I felt was unfair given that I hadn’t had time to prep but I answered as best as I could and I made it to the second round interview with two people. They were friendly and the interview questions weren’t difficult. However, towards the end of the interview when I asked what the recruitment timeline looked like (a question I wasn’t able to ask the recruiter previously) one of the hiring managers seemed reluctant to give an answer and gave me a vague answer about how successful candidates would be contacted regarding the next stages. The reluctance in her response immediately made me suspect that I didn’t make the next round and sure enough, given that the interview took place over 3 months ago and I have not heard anything on the status of my interview, I have been ghosted.
While everyone I interacted with was friendly, the recruitment process is disorganised and does not put candidate experience at the forefront. Having read other reviews, this seems to be a common theme with Hollis.
