After applying, I quickly got contacted by a recruiter to schedule a phone interview. The phone interview went great and I felt really good about the opportunity. The recruiter even told me on the phone that he'd like to schedule a technical interview with me, and he proceeded to explain in detail what the technical interview would be like. We got the technical interview scheduled and on the calendar, and come 15 minutes prior to the start of the interview, I got an email from the recruiter saying that we'd have to postpone it due to the interviewers being unavailable. Okay. This was disappointing, especially considering I'd made special accommodations at my current job to be available for the interview. But the initial phone interview went well and I loved the sounds of the opportunity, so I immediately replied to the recruiter's email with my availability for the next week so that we could re-schedule. A week goes by, and I haven't heard a thing. So, I sent him another email following up and asking if he'd like me to send any more time slots for which I'd be available. Another week goes by. Nothing. Ghosted. Given how genuine and transparent IQ Inc's company and culture seems to be, I was particularly surprised that I was ghosted in the interview process... after already having the second round interview scheduled and on the calendar. I completely understand if they were interviewing another candidate and decided to go with them. But even a simple automated email stating that "we're sorry, but we went with another candidate" would've been nice. I spent a lot of time preparing for the technical interview, just to be ghosted. I guess IQ Inc's culture of authenticity and transparency doesn't fully propagate to its recruiting department.
