I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Osborn Barr Paramore in Jan 2026
Interview
This was one of the most frustrating and unprofessional interview processes I’ve experienced.
I was initially contacted by HR via LinkedIn in December 2025 and responded right away. I then heard nothing for over a month until late January, when the same HR representative reached out again asking for my availability. From there, the process dragged on for months with long gaps and no communication.
I interviewed with four different people between February and March, including two senior leaders. Those interviews went well, and I left feeling optimistic. After each round, I followed up promptly and received no response. After my final interviews, I waited an entire month with zero updates. I reached out again to HR and was completely ignored.
In late April, I found out through LinkedIn that the role had been filled. No one from OBP ever communicated a decision or even closed the loop.
Five months, four interviews, and not a single follow-up or rejection. It shows a clear lack of respect for candidates’ time and effort. At minimum, candidates deserve basic communication and closure. This process failed on both.
Initial phone call followed by another phone with manager. No zoom / face to face calls. Relatively easy process. Questions were straight forward going over resume and past work experience.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Osborn Barr Paramore (Nashville, TN) in June 2016
Interview
I had a very bad experience in this process. The interview itself was fine and I enjoyed the people I met, but I never heard from them again after that. I interviewed over 2 months ago and followed up via email 5 times, and via phone twice. They (Brittnei, to be specific) never responded to my emails, and when I finally got in contact with her over the phone, she said she'd email me the following week (July 5th), and I never heard from her.
I totally understand if I wasn't the right person for the job. Completely get it and would not be offended at all if they had told me that. The problem was, I went in to the office for an interview, was told they'd be making a decision in the next two weeks, and never heard from them again.
