A Comedy of Errors Disguised as a Hiring Process
If you’re even remotely thinking about interviewing at Kore.ai, stop right now. This was by far the most unprofessional and frustrating experience I’ve ever endured, and here’s why:
1. Dragged Through Endless Rounds for Nothing
My interviews started on December 6, followed by rounds on December 10 and 16, 2024. After jumping through all their hoops, I was allegedly cleared and told I would join on December 23. But nope—on December 22, they casually postponed it to December 31. Fast forward, and I get informed the position is “on hold” because the CTO suddenly had “confusion about my employer”, even after clearing that confusion he again A complete circus act.
2. CTO Drama – A Whole New Level of Ridiculous
I emailed the CTO directly, hoping to clear up any confusion regarding my background. Big mistake. Instead of addressing the issue professionally, the CTO lost their mind and threatened to fire the recruiter for what he thought was sharing his email address. Newsflash: it wasn’t the recruiter—I got the email online, like anyone could. Yet somehow, Kore.ai thought it was appropriate to scapegoat their own employee instead of resolving the situation like grown-ups.
3. Disorganized and Clueless
The entire hiring process was a mess. No transparency, no accountability, and no respect for the time or effort I invested. The recruiter was stuck playing mediator while the leadership team couldn’t make a single coherent decision. If this is how they treat candidates, I shudder to think how they treat their employees.
4. A Complete Waste of Time
After weeks of jumping through hoops, waiting, and chasing them for updates, Kore.ai left me high and dry with nothing but excuses and unprofessional behavior. It’s baffling that a company claiming to be innovative can operate this way. ironically they also have ai recruitment product as well.
Final Verdict
Kore.ai’s hiring process is a dumpster fire. From endless delays to leadership drama, they epitomize how NOT to run a company. The lack of professionalism, respect, and basic human decency should be a red flag for anyone considering working here. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere—you’ll thank me later.
