I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Wolters Kluwer (Chicago, IL) in Jul 2018
Interview
Recruiter contacted me via LinkedIn and set up some time to do the initial screening. Informed me that in the next round they will assess my Angular JS and Java knowledge.
2nd round was telephonic round, the interview started with few Angular JS questions such as what are directives, AngularJS MVC architecture, how to share data between two AngularJS controllers.
Regarding Java, mostly he was concentrating around concurrency.
After I reached the recruiter for the results, he said that they would like to consider me but are waiting for other candidates interview to finish. After waiting for 1 month and following up for 4-5 times, I finally gave up.
Each time reached out I got the apology from the recruiter for not having the definite timeline.

I applied online. I interviewed at Wolters Kluwer in Apr 2025
Interview
I appreciated the initial outreach, as it showed interest in my profile. Unfortunately, after missing the initial call (due to scheduling conflicts) and promptly responding with my availability, the communication stopped entirely.
Despite several polite follow-up emails over the next few weeks inquiring about next steps, I received no response. After more than a month, the recruiter finally replied, noting that my profile had positive feedback but the team had been holding the position for another candidate who ultimately accepted the offer.
The extended period of silence made the process feel disorganized and left me uncertain about my status. A quick update or acknowledgment during that time would have been helpful and more in line with standard professional practices.
Pros: Initial recruiter outreach was proactive and indicated a good fit for my skills.
Cons: Lack of timely communication after the initial contact.
Advice to Management: Consider implementing better protocols for candidate updates, even if brief, to respect applicants' time and enhance the overall candidate experience. This could help maintain a positive reputation in a competitive talent market.
