Interview
I had two interviews with Chesamel, the first one was with the recruiter who reached out to me very quickly after I applied on LinkedIn. The interview went well, and I was scheduled for a second interview with the Chesamel hiring manager on the same call. Two days later, I had my second interview with the Chesamel hiring manager, and it went really well. They told me I would hear back the following week to see if I would go to the 3rd and final interview with their client. I followed up with the recruiter 4 times over the following weeks and have been completely ignored and ghosted. I even emailed the hiring manager of Chesamel and they had the same attitude.
It has honestly been an awful experience with this company. Letting a candidate know that they’re not going to the next stage is the bare minimum and incredibly disrespectful behaviour.
I have been incredibly disappointed by Chesamel.
