I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at WeWork (New York, NY)
Interview
A Talent Acquisition Manager reached out to me on LinkedIn. The phone screen was unimpressive. There were two questions asked. Were you looking for a job before I reached out? What kind of roles do you work on? I was running the conversation from there. This Hiring Manager then asked if I had any questions for her. I started with asking what role it was that she was considering me for since she never mentioned in her LinkedIn message or in her introduction over the phone. From there she said that she would be in touch during a certain week in January. I followed up asking for an update on my candidacy only to receive no response. From a Recruiter standpoint, this was a bad candidate experience. She reached out to me and I gave her my time. The least she could do was reply to my email. At the end of the day, it seems like I would have been training my manager-to-be on how to conduct proper phone screens so no loss here.
