I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at controlplane (London, England) in Mar 2025
Interview
The process was efficient and enjoyable lead by the COO who answered all my questions and put me at ease throughout the process, which made it an easy decision for me when an offer was presented.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you explain how you would optimise our current recruitment process (I had some prior knowledge of it)
The process involved a total of 4 calls with different people and ended up not even getting an answer.
The people seemed kind and also the company seems very promising but overall it was - unfortunately- a waste of time
I applied online. I interviewed at controlplane in Jan 2025
Interview
I applied online and promptly received an email stating, "we are excited to move forward with the interview process, to help us schedule your interview, please provide your availability." I responded with my availability the same day. However, after waiting for over 10 days without any further communication, I finally received an email stating, "unfortunately, we have decided not to proceed..."
I find it concerning to have been asked for my availability only to receive a rejection email after an extended period of silence. This experience suggests a lack of consideration for candidates' time and effort. I hope you will reflect on this and consider improving your hiring strategy to ensure clear and respectful communication with all candidates.
