I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Vertical Future (London, England) in Oct 2022
Interview
I had a two stage interview, via Reed recruitment. The Agency called me to inform me that i was successful for the job and they were preparing my appointment letter. Later, the agency called me again to inform me that i should not leave my present job and wait. I never heard from them again. I emailed to inquire about the outcome and they did not respond to the email

Question 1
Behavioural and scenario questions Some on evaluations and policies
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Vertical Future
Interview
Applied online, founder messaged asking me to create a 3 minute video application and send it to him. Didn't hear back for 2 weeks, emailed asking if it had been received ok - no response. I messaged the founder on LinkedIn after a month asking what was happening with my application - again no response. 3 days later he posted about their new 'Digital Marketing Manager'. Really poor candidate experience, Vertical Future didn't even have the decency to reply to people who had bothered to script, film and edit a video for them. I wouldn't recommend anyone to waste their time applying.
