Mahesh Vasnani Review of bunq
I had a horrible experience of applying for a job ...
I had a horrible experience of applying for a job at Bunq recently.
I found a vacancy in Business Development department which was advertised as an entry-level position and suitable for candidates who have studied International Business (my major) or any Business related study and have experience in Sales/Business Development or Client facing role (which I actually do). While applying for this position I took 3 hours to tailor my CV according to the job description. However, I was not considered for even a mere interview and was turned down with reason of not being a perfect match with the job position. Which is not true because, firstly, If I was not a strong match then I would not apply in the first place anyway and secondly, I had my CV cross checked with other recruiters who are industry experts and they mention that my profile is strong match with the job position.
Anyway, A Bunq employee who Studied at Hotelschool and was working at a Bank as a Recruiter rejected a candidate who studied International Business, has experience in Business Development and was applying for a Business Development position. Therefore, the provided reasoning for rejection is not justifiable. Moreover, I have also sent a reply to the recruiter requesting feedback on my application for which I have not received anything back yet.
My advise to Bunq: Please treat all the candidates in a Humane way instead of using ATS. Moreover, please provide the candidates with feedback so that they can improve and learn something from the application. Respect the time of candidates by ACTUALLY reading the CV and not only evaluate it through a bogus ATS. As candidates invest a lot of time and efforts in their application.
Thank you!
