The interviewer started the screening call by saying she needed to be in the car during our time, but didn't want to cancel our meeting. I was okay with that, until I realized that she didn't seem to have read my resume over before the call, and of course didn't have it on hand during the call as she was out. She seemed distracted and/or blase.
Eventually it became loud and difficult to hear her, and the call dropped for about 15 minutes, during which time I was unable to get ahold of her. We reconnected, and she mentioned she would connect me with the team. I never heard back from her. I could have followed up, but the lack of follow up on her part coupled with the spotty experience during the call made me not want to.
Interviewed by Directors of the process and also a separate round of interview to test your cultural fit. The questions were relative to the role. Not very had but situation based

Interview
Video call. 30 min. Recruiter was prepared and great to interview with. Explained steps, expectations and left me feeling like I nailed the interview. The hiring manager declined to meet with me and the interview process went no further. Reached out for clarification and feedback but got the usual response.

Interview
I was invited to participate in an initial phone screening with Phenom. After researching the company and learning about their work in talent experience and hiring technology, I was genuinely excited about the opportunity and the interview process.
The representative who conducted the screening was pleasant and professional, although the conversation felt very fast-paced. The interviewer spoke quickly, which made the interaction feel somewhat rushed and created the sense that there was a large amount of material to cover in a short time.
What surprised me most was the lack of follow-up communication after the screening. Given that Phenom specializes in candidate experience and automated hiring workflows, I expected at minimum a confirmation, update, or rejection notification following the interview. I have interviewed with other companies that use Phenom’s platform and experienced structured, automated follow-up communication, which made the absence of communication in this case particularly unexpected.
As a company focused on improving the hiring experience for its clients, I had hoped to see that same level of consistency reflected in their own recruiting process.
