I applied online. I interviewed at IXL Learning in Nov 2021
Interview
Applied online, had a positive initial interview, was told I’d hear something in the coming days, and then I was completely ignored by the recruiting team. I completely understand moving in a different direction, but this was unprofessional.
The recruiter reached out to me and we set up a time to have a phone conversation. She kept saying how much I was a great candidate and would like to have me speak to the rest of the team. We finally had a phone interview and literally a few hours later she told me they were moving in another direction. She kept saying "the team" even though she was responsible for hiring. I hope this wasn't because I was a person of color, but the interview process was honestly a waste of time and I have never received feedback within the same day.
I applied online and got an email to schedule the initial phone screen a week later. The recruiter asked to push the call out to the following week and when I got the confirmation, it didn't say who I was confirmed to speak with. I thought that was a little bit weird given that the call was pushed out and confirmed with an unknown recruiter. On the day of the scheduled call, the recruiter was 10-15 minutes late and we ended up speaking for 45 minutes instead of the original 30. She said I was a great fit and would circle back with next steps within 2 days. Unfortunately, I received a generic rejection with no feedback whatsoever. That obviously left me really confused about the company as a whole given that it was different from what the recruiter said, but it was a chance that I took given that IXL recently had a round of layoffs from previous reviews. Definitely approach this company with caution if you're considering applying.
