I interviewed for the Head of Marketing role at Bryq, starting with an HR assessment on their platform (smooth experience), followed by a call with the CEO. While the CEO was friendly, the interview felt unprepared and unstructured. When I asked about the next steps, he couldn’t say as the process hadn’t been defined yet. It was surprising to see candidates interviewed without clear expectations or a hiring plan. I also asked about their ICP, product direction, and messaging, but the answers were uncertain as they are still redefining their product and positioning. This made it hard to understand what the role would truly involve. What stood out most was the lack of follow-up. 2,5 weeks later, I’ve received no update, no feedback, and no response at all. Being ghosted is especially disappointing for a company operating in HR and promoting values around good hiring practices. Overall, the process lacked structure, clarity, and basic communication. Candidates deserve a clear plan and timely follow-up, especially for a senior role.
