The process started off positively. I applied through LinkedIn and was contacted by a member of the team within a few days. I had a pleasant phone interview, followed by a second interview with two members of the team. The conversations were warm and engaging, and I left feeling genuinely excited about the role and the company.
Unfortunately, after the second interview, I never heard back—despite being told there may be a third (in-person) round. I followed up politely a few times over two weeks, but I never received a reply or a clear outcome.
While I understand plans can shift and roles may change internally, it’s disappointing to go through multiple stages of an interview and receive no communication afterward. A simple update, positive or not, goes a long way in showing respect for a candidate’s time and effort.

Interview
A very laid back interview that went over my resume. The interviewer was the owner, franchise owner, and he was asking about relevant experience. He went over what he was looking for and explained what he was looking for.

Question 1
They asked about each job I had on my resume. Why did I leave, what did I do there, etc...
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at PuroClean (Stevens Point, WI) in Oct 2023
Interview
I was asked "Why shouldn't we hire you?" Which is such a lazy trick question. I answered honestly and they used my answer to not hire me. If I refused to answer, I'm sure I also would have failed the interview. If they wanted a BS answer then they are fostering an environment that encourages lying to succeed. My initial reaction was honesty and that was not rewarded, it was punished. After I finished my answer, both interviewers told me they would be "unable to answer" the question themselves.
