I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Christopher Radko (New York, NY) in May 2012
Interview
It was very easy. I applied on LinkedIn and received an email about two weeks later. I met in the office once with two people and was hired within the next two weeks. They let me push my start date back and were very cool about it!
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Christopher Radko (New York, NY) in Mar 2015
Interview
I was contacted by Trandon Associates. Barbara who is the president conducted a phone interview and then emailed me about the interview which was with Heather Shepardson - Chief Executive Officer at Christopher Radko. I was told they are having trouble filling the position. She was very nice. The interview went well. She introduced me to the team and showed me the office. Later Barbara told me I did great and that they want to see for a second interview to meet with individual people. I was told that I am Heather's top candidate (out of 3 total). I met with the other Product Manager person, the graphic designer and operations manager. All went well.At the end I saw Heather and she confirmed that I am her favorite candidate and that she will speak with the team to see how they feel as she wants it to be a group decision. I waited but nothing/ I emailed Barbara at Trandon and nothing. I got very frustrated so I emailed Heather via LinkedIn (she never responded) and then I got an email from Barbara that I was not selected. She followed up with a call when she apologized and explained that she thought her assistant let me know earlier about the decision. Barbara was very frustrated. She said she doesnt know what happened as I was "the one". She said that Heather told her that the team could not agree on a candidate and that they wont be moving forward with anybody. Barbara told me that she said to Heather this is all because there were "too many cooks in the kitchen" and that Heather agreed. What kind of CEO let this happen??
Very disappointing
