After applying, I was invited to interview with 2 other recruiters for 30 minutes each. They use an interview system called HireVue, and both of my interviews froze about 2 minutes in despite logging in early to test every function and being wired into my internet - seems like something with the program, though I can’t say for sure. The second interview didn’t show up after I waited for 10 minutes for them to join. We had to reschedule. Technical issues aside - all of that stuff happens - I give a negative review because they scheduled an hour of my time (not including the time I prepped for the interview) and did not offer any salary transparency when asked. This is a completely antiquated recruiting practice. Salary transparency should really be the norm. It is in several states already. I was honestly a little taken aback that this would be a practice during an R4R search. In this job search and my last one, almost all of the recruiters I spoke to during interviews were transparent about compensation during the first conversation. It builds trust, it sets up for a better candidate experience, and it doesn’t waste anyone’s time. I was ultimately rejected for the role which is fine since I get the feeling the culture would not be a fit for me, but I think the process could still be improved. It’s a waste of everyone’s time to not be honest about compensation - including the business. When asked about the salary band, there should be a straightforward answer. Unless the hiring team truly doesn’t know what the budget is for the role - in which case, why is it even open? Questions asked were pretty standard. In both conversations, many of the questions were the same - not sure if that was intentional or not, but it felt like I was having the same conversation twice.
