I applied through an employment agency and got a call a few days later to interview on site. I went in to interview, and the conversation was great. It seemed like a great place to work and I was also impressed with their technology. I was told that the selected candidates will be invited to interview with a higher manager. I was one of the selected candidates, so I went to the second interview well prepared. This was my chance to outshine the other candidate who was my only competition. The manager was a no-show and I was told I would be contacted with next steps. The next day came and no call or email. I called the recruiter and he did not pick up. So I emailed the first person I interviewed with but got no answer. Then I got a call from the recruiter on the Monday with some information that I already figured out. Being in the HR field, I know the game some companies play all to well. I was told that the higher manager had a family emergency and the other manager decided to go with the other candidate that they interviewed. What? How is that fair? I did not get my fair chance to prove myself. I did nothing wrong. The other candidate in no way earned that job; seems like it was handed out to him/her. I showed up for my interview. Why couldn't it get rescheduled or get someone else to interview me? As an HR professional, I have never and would never do this to a candidate.

I applied online and I was called by the hiring manager for a face to face interview. The disappointing part of it was, I was told by the hiring manager that she would get back to me by the next day but she didn't even after numerous follow up emails to her. This is highly unprofessional by a so called HR professional and I wouldn't want to work for a company like this, where common courtesy interview feedback was too difficult to give.
