I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cornerstone FS in May 2025
Interview
NO RESPONSE FOR 2 MONTHS!
I saw that Finseta (Cornerstone FS) where recruiting for this role in Dubai office. I had applied for the role and on their site it says they’ll respond back within 3 days. Eventually I was told that the role had been filled.
Then the recruiter emailed me and set up a call, informing me that the role has come a live again and I would hear back. I applied for the role again. Absolute silence. Heard nothing back. I followed up with the recruiter on LinkedIn, via email. Connected with multiple people on LinkedIn to obtain any sort of update but no one responded. Even messaged head of Settlements/Operations
2 months later, the role is still up on their website as Settlements Analyst in Dubai yet I have had no response at all. I find it highly offensive a company of this stature has portrayed themselves in this manner. They should be ashamed that they cannot provide any sort of feedback

Interview process was good, feedback was well constructed and it was a good assessment of how my skills fit the role. The people seemed very nice as was the office.
Interview was as expected for level of role however a touch dislocated.
