I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Korn Ferry in Jan 2023
Interview
I received a message on LinkedIn advertising a Recruiter role in Bucharest. Since I was searching for a role, I happily accepted it.
The first interview was with the recruiter where I received standard interview questions about me and my experience. A second interview saw set up with the hiring manager, pretty standard as well. A third interview was set up with the business partner that I would be working very close with if hired.
The process was successful and in the end I received an offer which I happily accepted and signed. The recruiter mentioned that she would get back to me with a start date... and it never happened. For weeks we've been emailing back and forth regarding the start date. It's been a year and a half and I still haven't heard from them.
The process was great, the end was very disappointing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What were some of the challenges that you've had in your role and how did you overcome them?
Felt like the interviewer was busy and didn't want to be there.
Told me they have a strict budget for this role (very low and pretty unliveable) - if there is a strict budget why is this not added to the job ad, it wastes both the interviewer and interviewee's time.
Told me they would get back to me and never did.

It was a great experience. The briefing was very thorough, and they were very professional, they have asked your experience, including specific examples and a time you faced failure? What did you learn from that experience？
