I was hesitating to write a review as my experience was quick and short. However, this is aimed to provide feedback to promote change in corporate world regarding the recruiting practices as I believe, I am not the only one who had my experience.I applied online and received a message from one of the VP's to schedule an interview for the same week for the Digital Marketing position. I was asked to send my LinkedIn profile, and ''upon receiving it, an interview would be scheduled''. I thanked the person for contacting me and proceeded to inform my availability for the following day, based on the options provided. I also attached a link to my LinkedIn profile. I spent my afternoon preparing for the interview, I readjusted my schedule even with a short notice, as I really liked the company. So the next day came and I didn't receive the call. I emailed the interviewer immediately. No reply for that day whatsoever. 2 more days went by without a word. By business etiquette, at least a professional recruiter would send a quick note to apologize, or to inform the position was filled, or ultimately, to mention that the LinkedIn profile didn't reflect what you were looking for, etc . I decided to follow-up by email to give them the benefit of the doubt.No reply whatsoever to my second email. While it is understandable that things could happen, the fact that nobody else was delegated this responsibility reflects so much about the company's culture at the higher ranks. Perhaps candidates are just seen as numbers and in case they didn't like person's photo after seeing the LinkedIn profile or who know what, it shows a bias, given that they were interested first based on my CV. Hopefully the next candidates are given more consideration, especially if you receive a second email from a candidate showing a real interest in your company.Hopefully there comes a day when candidates gain more empowerment in the corporate world and we have a more balanced decision-making on the process,hopefully more platforms like Glassdoor help to contribute to more transparency to drive positive change in the corporate culture, but for now, candidates seem to be at the mercy of recruiters like this.Although,the situation was simple, it is in the small details that you can see a lot from a company's culture.
I applied online. I interviewed at SourceKnowledge
Interview
Applied online; I was contacted fairly quick for a phone interview. Proceed with caution though: An article in Media in Canada (August 1, 2017) stated the opening of the Toronto office and with fanfare reported the hiring of its first two account executives. I looked on LinkedIn at these two profiles and both no longer work there. One was there only a few months and the other did not even bother to list it the position and the company any more on his profile. Reading between the lines of this, I would assume that this company would take quick steps to remove you if you are not performing at an acceptable level within a very short time frame. Which brings me to my next point: Why must senior management/owners expect sales people to salvage their companies instead of owning up to the fact that they need to fix glaring problems themselves?
