I applied online. I interviewed at UserIQ (Atlanta, GA) in July 2020
Interview
I interviewed with this company in July 2020, and the interview process went very well. I met with the VP, who was fantastic. I know I made a great impression with him and his immediate team.
After my call with the CEO, the great vibe and fantastic previous interviews went downhill. The VP went dark on me for a few days, but he finally reached out to me via phone, which I appreciated, to inform me that they went with another candidate. He said that they thought I was a fantastic candidate and could see me in another role at their company, working with C-Level executives in a. more Enterprise role.
The moral of the story is, I didn't get the job based on my experience as I know it based on reasons outside of my control. Unfortunately, in today's job search, hiring leaders need to stop discriminating based on race; this would've been an excellent opportunity for both of us.
Making hiring decisions is one of the toughest choices in business. There were a ton of extremely talented candidates for this role, yourself included. However, to have any candidate make a leap of logic and equate this decision down to race is unfortunate. For what it's worth, we ended up hiring a minority for this role and have hired minorities for other roles since. We value diversity of all types and wish you the best of luck in your career.
