I was contacted by a recruiter and provided the job details, compensation, and expected benefits. Phone pre-screening and 3 in-person interviews with: future manager, President (who was 10+ minutes late), and Sales Director.
The recruiter informed me around the end of the week that while they really liked me, they decided to hold off on hiring anyone for the role as it was not the right time for the company. It didn't paint the prettiest picture for the company as both the manager and President said they needed the spot filled ASAP during the interviews, and then decided to not hire anyone. You wouldn't know this from walking in their office, but after the interview process, I sense huge disorganization and obvious communication gaps between one interviewer to the next. The interviews themselves were pleasant but their interviewing process can be dramatically improved to become more efficient - I suggest having both the President and Sales Director interview the candidate to save everyone's time.
