Interview process was one of the most unprofessional I have ever experienced.
I first heard from you Sagal Ali on October 16, had a phone conversation October 18 (by the way, she only confirmed the interview the day of), an in-person interview October 30 with Breanne Armstrong (Manager, Communications and Affairs), and Annie Khau, (Communications Coordinator) and then had to follow up November 8 before finally hearing back on November 27. I was also told during the in-person interview that I would hear back one way or another the following week. I must assume the candidate chosen for the role had gone through the entire interview process and that the organization were fully capable of communicating with them. And yet it took over a month for me to hear that I was not going to be moving forward. I appreciate busy schedules and shifting priorities, but I don’t appreciate being treated with such a lack of respect. The fact is, Kensington Health showed no appreciation or respect for my time or experience. After such a long tenure in the industry (10 years in Communications), I haven’t even earned the respect of a prompt response. It’s disheartening.
I emailed Sagal and Adil Khalfan with my feedback and frustration with the interview process only to get this feedback from Sagal:
"Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry you found the process frustrating. We’re always looking for ways in which we can improve our processes, so messages like yours are helpful. "
This is not a place that respects people and I would expect better communications skills from someone who is a Communications Director. I would highly advise people to NOT apply for any jobs at Kensington Health if this is how they deal with people.
