I recently went through the hiring process for an OIC Consultant role at Jade Global, and my experience was quite disappointing.
Before attending the interview, I had clearly communicated my compensation expectations and received confirmation from HR that the budget was aligned. Based on this, I proceeded with an in-person interview, investing my time and effort. The interview process itself was smooth and positive.
Post interview, I was asked to submit all required documents for the offer process, which typically indicates that things are moving towards finalization. However, after multiple follow-ups over several weeks, I was repeatedly informed that the offer was “awaiting approval.”
Eventually, I was told that hiring is slow and there is no clear timeline, and I was advised to proceed with other opportunities.
This raises a concern about why candidates are asked to attend in-person interviews and submit documents when there is no confirmed approval or hiring clarity. Such lack of transparency leads to unnecessary time investment and poor candidate experience.
I hope the organization improves its hiring process by ensuring internal approvals are in place before engaging candidates at advanced stages.
