I applied online and in 7 days recruiter called me with few basic questions like why you applied for this position and more. Also she verified the salary expectation which I put while applying.

Poor hiring process and quite an unprofessional experience. (BE READY TO BE GHOSTED) 1. Got a text message from recruiter John B. to schedule an initial call. 2. On the first call, the position was discussed in detail, as well as my experience and what is my knowledge about their operations. 3. In a day or two, I had to schedule a call with the Hiring Manager Grant B. 4. During the second call on a given Tuesday, more details about the position and their need were discussed as well as my profile, work experience, tools & technical abilities, reason to change, other interests were discussed. There were some textbook situational questions as well. 5. I was informed that I shall know the decision by end of that week or early next week. 6. I followed up on Monday (after 7 days) to get an update for which they responded after a day, that the interviews have concluded and I shall get to know the decision very soon. 🚩 7. I again followed up (email to HM & texted recruiter) after 14 days of my interview to get an update. Neither the Hiring Manager responded, nor the recruiter. 🚩🚩 8. Finally, I called their office on the 17th day to talk to the recruiter. He maybe off his desk or busy or just didn't want to have this conversation with me so I had to leave a voicemail. 9. Got a standard rejection email template from the recruiter after 5 hours. No communication from HM as he might have been busy. 10. I've sent a request to know the reason of rejection. (I'd be lucky to get a response to this) My opinion on their process: It seemed to me that no one wanted to take the responsibility to have the awkward conversation of candidate rejection or maybe it is the case that they themselves are not aware about how long their process will last. Either way, they badly need someone to streamline this particular area because proper communication must be there on every stages. Hopefully someone takes note of this so that other candidates don't have to go through this.
