      HR Manager Interview

      17 Sept 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Receptional in Sept 2024

      Interview

      The initial screening was a positive experience; the company and role were presented well. However, issues arose during the second-stage interviews. I was invited for 2nd stage with the hiring manager, but I left unsure how my experience or the value I could bring to the company will be assessed as they were barely any questions around it. I was told to wait for a face-to-face interview, but after a few days, I received a message saying they were still trying to organise it. Then, without any further communication, I received an automatic email informing me that they would not be proceeding with my application. When I inquired whether the email had been sent in error, the hiring manager confirmed it was correct. I requested feedback but was told none could be provided. At this stage of the process, feedback is essential, and any professional company would offer it. It was concerning that a senior HR member didn't foster a culture of feedback or follow a thorough recruitment process. Candidates invest time and effort in preparation and interviews, so it's vital to treat them with respect.

      Interview questions [1]

      Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We’re glad to hear that the initial stages of our recruitment process left a positive impression, but we’re truly sorry that your experience during the later stages fell short of expectations. At Receptional, we deeply value the time and effort that candidates invest in our recruitment process, and we appreciate feedback that helps us improve. Our interview process is designed to assess both a candidate’s ability to excel in the role and their alignment with our culture and values, which are central to who we are as a company. We strive to maintain a respectful and thorough approach at every stage, and we regret that this wasn’t reflected in your experience. We often receive a high number of applications due to the benefits we offer (hybrid/flexible working, 25 days of holiday plus bank holidays (increasing by 1 annually), your birthday off, an individual training budget equivalent to 5% of your annual salary, free drinks and snacks, as well as quarterly out of office fun days and other regular social and charity events) which can impact our ability to provide individual feedback to each candidate. Thank you once again for your feedback, we will take it on board and review our processes accordingly
