I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at LabConnect (Bergen op Zoom)
Interview
The interview process was pretty simple and laid back. I’ll give them that. 1 phone call with the recruiter and 1 Zoom call with a panel of about 5 or 6 people. They each had the opportunity to ask me typical STAR questions and I had a well of experience and examples to draw from. I really thought I did great and would be a great fit for the company, as I have over 8 years experience in the industry.
However, I can only assume I wasn’t extended an offer, because 6 months—and several attempts to follow-up—later, I’ve heard nothing. From anyone. Recruiter seemed kind and genuine, but it’s the same typical HR talk to get you to schedule the interview. I was told multiple times, by 3 different employees that they would “let me know something pretty soon because we’re looking to fill the team quickly”. It’s not that hard to send out automated emails. During a pandemic, jobs are hard to come by and people everywhere are struggling. I wasn’t pursuing other opportunities because they basically told me I had the job and I reeaally wanted to work there.
Just a tip HR, don’t EMPHASIZE that you “aren’t the type of company to do that” and “we always get back to our interviewees; offer extended or not” of that isn’t something you really value. Just a really off putting experience and I’ll tell my friends the same. Think I may have dodged a bullet with this one
Standard process of general interview questions. A few pertaining to the specific job. Interviewed by 3 different people on 3 separate interviews. Very genuine interview but also very generic. Nothing out of the ordinary

Interview
I went through three interviews (one phone, two hour long video). What was frustrating was that they assured me that they would not ghost candidates and would provide feedback on whether or not you would move along in the process but they ghosted me. I think it’s rude and disrespectful to make someone sit through three interviews and not have the decency to send them a quick email letting them know that they’re not moving on in the process. Overall, it wasn’t a good fit for me regardless, but it definitely wasn’t after that happened.
