I applied through a recruiter.

Interview

I was reached out to on LinkedIn by a recruiter at Thumbtack. We had gone back and forth about 5 times and were in the midst of coordinating the first phone screen and the recruiter completely stopped communicating to me. I reached back out multiple times and I received no response or explanation.

Thumbtack response

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback -- and on behalf of the entire recruiting team, we want to apologize that this happened. We pride ourselves on delivering an outstanding candidate experience and would love to get to the bottom of this. Please feel free to reach out to recruiting@thumbtack.com and we will personally follow up.

Difficult interview

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Thumbtack

Interview

Recruiter did not respond to initial email sent to input availability. No response after that and didn't even get a chance to have a phone screen, very unprofessional, especially given email was opened twice after follow up.

Question 1

Didn't even get a chance because no confirmation on when to meet.
