      Senior Associate Interview

      May 30, 2025
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Ares Management

      Interview

      Poor Interview Process - Unprofessional Recruitment Experience with a VP level recruiter in HCM department I applied for a Senior Associate role and had an extremely disappointing experience with the recruitment process. After initially expressing interest, the recruiter scheduled a phone interview. We confirmed this appointment multiple times via email, including exchange of phone numbers. I cleared my schedule and prepared for the call, and sending a follow-up to double check the call 15 mins before we are suppose to start. Instead of the scheduled interview, I received an unprofessional and irrogent email ad reply to my follow up, the recruiter claimed they "never confirmed" the call, the reply suprised me a lot with expression like "Ah I don’t believe I ever confirmed the below call" despite having multiple email confirmations in writing. The lack of professionalism and basic courtesy was surprising for a firm of this caliber. At minimum, candidates deserve honest communication and respect for their time instead of micro aggresive and gaslighting.
