I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SmartSearch (Ilkley, England) in Sept 2023
Interview
Very disappointing. The person that scheduled the interview completely forgot, I arrived and was told they would not be attending and that a member of a different team would have to do it instead.
The person who took over couldn't do it correctly as it was a different department, and it was clear they had no desire to be there.
Worst of all, Smart Search are another one of the companies out there that don't believe in communicating interview results with candidates.
It disgusts me that these organisations expect candidates to jump through so many hoops, rounds and rounds of interviews, travelling and spending petrol money to visit their offices, and they cannot even uphold the common decency to notify you of the outcome.
Despicable. Tells you everything you need to know about the culture of a company in my opinion.
Dodged a bullet.

Question 1
What three words would your brother use to describe you.
I am sorry to hear about your experience, this sounds very much out of the ordinary. At SmartSearch we have a structured interview process for both candidates and the interviewing manager. We provide all candidates from face-to-face interviews with feedback regarding their application, letting them know if they’ve been successful or not and the reasons why. Apologies again if this hasn’t happened in this instance as it is not the standard that we aim to deliver to candidates and we regret if you had a bad experience.
