Started with the contracted recruiter emailing to set up phone screen. After chatting with her, she then recommended me to the hiring manager and set up a 30 minute phone interview. This person was one of the Accounting team. Then was scheduled an in person interview; which was 4 individuals, 2 over the telephone and 2 in the office. Their internet was not working, so could not Skype. After ending the conversation according to the time schedule; I then had to email my contact in the office that I was waiting in the conference room....then was taken on a tour of the building space and was made a cup of coffee. Time spent; almost 3 hours. Emailed thank you notes, next day. My hiring contact was going on vacation for 2 weeks, was advised by her to follow up with recruiter.
Waited 5 days; emailed recruiter and office manager for a status. No response.
Received generic, non-personal email 2 weeks after interview stating; "we have decided to move forward with a different candidate who appears to be more closely match our requirements at this time."
Someone needs to proofread!
When you spend 3 hours interviewing, it would be polite and professional to respond personally to follow up inquiries.
