Jisc interview questions

The interview process itself was pleasant and straightforward. The questions were relevant, and the interviewer made me feel comfortable throughout the conversation. My main concern was the communication around timelines. I was told on a Monday that I would definitely receive an update by the end of that week, whether the outcome was positive or negative. Friday came and went with no communication. I followed up the following Monday and received a response four days later saying that a decision had still not been made. Unfortunately, there was no acknowledgement of the missed deadline or apology for the delay. A further week passed before I finally received a rejection email. The lack of communication and the failure to meet the timeline that had been explicitly provided made the process unnecessarily stressful. While I understand that hiring decisions can take longer than expected, setting clear expectations and then not following through on them can create a great deal of uncertainty for candidates.
