I applied through other source. I interviewed at RDI Diamonds (Rochester, NY) in Jan 2017
Interview
Recruiter called me late in the afternoon, talked about my background for a bit and immediately asked screening questions. What she should have done was ask if I was available to speak for a few minutes rather than jump straight into a phone interview. I asked her if it would be better to talk in 30 minutes, and she said the office would be closed before then. That right there was a red flag to me. Why are you phoning screen applicants minutes before your shift ends? I then asked her if the day after would be suitable, and she said it would and she would call me back. Obviously from her tone and manner, I'm not surprised I never got a call back. It's one thing to work in a fast paced environment; it's another when you're unprofessional in that very same environment.
What I can say is that if this is the way the company goes about screening applicants, then I do not want to work there. I am not going to show initiative and call back a company that was ambushing me and then moves on with the applicant list after I ask to reschedule when calling in an inconvenient time.
I'm sorry that you had a negative experience during our interview screening process. However, due to the highly sensitive nature of our business we have to take security seriously. For this reason we cannot have interviewees on-site without a successful pre-screening interview.
If you believe that you would be a fit for our company I encourage you to reapply via our recruiting website at www.workatrdi.com.
Thank you!
