I advanced to a final round interview with senior leadership. As this was just before the holidays, I waited until about a week into the new year before following up. I received a brief, generic response from the recruiter noting that people were still returning from time off and that they would be in touch.
I never heard back. I followed up directly with the hiring manager as well, and still received no response.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Helen of Troy (El Paso, TX) in Sep 2021
Interview
Initial interview was a virtual recorded one. 2nd was an interview with the hiring manager. It’s very frustrating when you’re being told that you would be a great fit for the position and had a great interview only to receive a denial nearly three weeks later. Please be upfront with interviewees and don’t give false hope. This is extremely frustrating and unprofessional.
