I interviewed for the Site Merchandising Manager role at Perpay and initially had a good impression. I received an invite for a 30-minute Zoom interview with the Head of Merchandising, which went smoothly. A few days later, I was asked to come onsite for the another round, along with a presentation assignment that required analyzing Perpay’s site experience. The expectations were clear: prepare a 30-minute deck and send it ahead of time for review. I drove 12 hours round trip to their office, met with the Head of Merchandising and two other team members for a formal presentation and Q&A session, I gave it my best. Here’s the issue: they told me I’d hear back by the weekend — but nothing came. I followed up a week later, then again the following week. It’s now been nearly a month, and I’ve still heard nothing. I don’t mind not getting the job — that’s part of the process. What’s frustrating is the complete lack of closure after putting in so much effort, time, and travel. Two follow-up emails over 14 days, no reply. Advice to Perpay: If you expect candidates to take the process seriously, you need to do the same. Follow up when you say you will. Even a simple “we’ve moved forward with someone else” would’ve been fine. And if you're bringing people onsite, at least offer travel reimbursement or communicate clearly that you won’t. Respect goes both ways.
