I applied for the Customer Success Associate role at Instahyre. The interview process required creating a curated 20+ slide presentation and a recorded demo, which took substantial time and effort. Despite completing and submitting the assignment as required, my application was rejected without any constructive feedback. What was most frustrating is that it made the process feel unclear and almost fabricated, since even a well-researched, structured presentation was not acknowledged in detail. For a company that promotes smarter hiring, the candidate experience did not reflect the same. Providing feedback, even brief, would go a long way in making the process more transparent and respectful of the effort candidates put in.
