Interview
Candidature en ligne extrêmement longue avec beaucoup de questions, mise en situation, etc. 2 entretiens passés avec un RH. Ils ne retiennent pas la candidature et ils dissent que c’est car on n’a pas un certain type d’expérience (ce qui était clair dans le cv, autant ne pas faire perdre du temps aux candidats). Manque de transparence.

Interview
It took a month from my application to get an interview scheduled. I was excited about the opportunity and spent a lot of time preparing. However, the interview was rescheduled just 10 minutes before the appointed time because "The hiring manager is in a workshop now." I agreed to the rescheduling. Then, four working hours before the new schedule, they canceled the interview, stating "we received more applications than expected." I was extremely disappointed with the disorganization of the recruitment team.

Interview
After applying for this vacancy via the GOURMEY careers page, I received an invitation for the first interview with an HM, for which an HM was more than 5 minutes late, so it was rescheduled very quickly. During the interview, for the first 15 minutes, the HM asked me some general questions to get to know me better, and then it was up to me to ask my questions. I had a lot of questions and I could see that HR didn't like the questions I asked. Perhaps I was a bit insistent and it seemed like the roles were reversed, but all I wanted was to know more about this start-up's strategy, to find out if there was a detailed plan with deadlines that it was following, to make sure that this company would be viable in the future. For someone who is sensitive to greenwashing, I wanted to make sure that the company I was approaching was really committed to sustainable development and that the cultivation approach was really more sustainable than the conventional approach. Unfortunately, I didn't get any constructive answers to these questions. I was simply told that it was confidential information - a response that strikes me as immature and unprofessional. Those who are sure of their project and proud of it could talk about it freely and explain their vision and strategy without going into confidential details (which I didn't need/want to know at all).
