Sent in resume via referral and had a phone interview with the Nick (exiting head of bus ops) within a week. Positive phone screen--talked about teams, creating process, etc and told I would be moving onto the next step. About 1 week later, updated that the role was changing and I would be doing a 1 hour strategy activity via skype with Josh (founder). Blocked out my afternoon for the activity, only to find out that it is a 5 minute call for Josh to explain the writing assignment they use to screen their entry level sourcers and writer. Josh hadn't read the background notes on file--and asked me 2 or 3 basic questions like "do you know what Sourceress does?"
After completing both halves of the assignment, I received a "thank you" and then was ghosted for 2 weeks until the "we've gone a different direction." No feedback provided on the process.
For a company that is focused on "changing the recruiting process" they seem to follow all the problems currently out there--unclear communication, ghosting, and failing to treat candidates as if their time is valuable as well.
