When professionalism meets poor process 🕓
Today I experienced something that really made me reflect on interview etiquette and candidate respect.
I received an interview invite from @Softenger — just 40 minutes before the scheduled time — without any prior intimation or coordination. Once I tried to join, I realized there was no meeting link included in the mail.
When I reached out to the recruiter for clarification, I was told that the email was sent to me by mistake, and that the position had been put on hold — despite their team following up with me for weeks to schedule the interview.
👉 This wasn’t about the missed interview — it was about the complete lack of communication and accountability. A small message or timely update could have avoided confusion on both sides.
Such situations remind us that transparency and communication are not optional in recruitment. A simple update or acknowledgment can save everyone’s time and set the right impression for both sides.
To all hiring teams — candidates genuinely prepare and adjust their schedules for interviews. Let’s strive for processes that reflect the same level of respect and professionalism we expect from applicants.
