I applied for the Site Merchant role online through LinkedIn, and was contacted fairly quickly by the REI HR Recruiter. Initial phone screen was informative - she was very forthcoming about the culture, salary, etc and the direct questions I had about the position she was able to research and return to me via email. I was scheduled for a half day of interviews shortly thereafter, as I was told they needed to hire for the position quickly and wanted to get their finalists in, interviewed, and a decision made in the next week to 10 days. The in-person interviews went well; a very engaging, interesting and diverse group of people obviously passionate about what they do. The campus, though not on any public transpo route, is beautiful. I was very interested in the position, and expressed that both in person and in follow up cards to thank them for their time. Then I heard.....nothing. I reached back out to the HR Recruiter to see if there were any additional questions or issues I could address, and got no response. Frankly - it was the height of rudeness to not at least contact your finalist candidates and tell them you had moved on with someone else - which obviously I assume they did.
