I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at ICON in Sep 2021
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn, had an initial conversation and was recommended to prepare my resume for two positions. I was then followed up by a more senior recruiter for one of the two positions asking to schedule an interview for the next week. 1 month later (after following up twice) I was contacted by the senior recruiter and set up an interview with the operations manager for the Global Trial manager position. The interview went very well and I was told that I would be a great fit for the team. My interviewer was going to write up her notes and send them to the senior recruiter for review and I was told that she would be in touch regarding next steps. I never heard back from the senior recruiter, and I did follow up with no response.
This entire process has put me off of the company and I will no longer consider job requests/recruiter invites from this organization. There was a clear lack respect for my time and effort from the senior recruiter and I fear that this may reflect on the company culture at large.
