I was so excited when Swoon contacted me regarding an open position at a company I have wanted to work at for years. The recruiter contacted me for a preliminary phone screening. It went very well. It was followed by an invitation to interview in person. My recruiter was in continual contact with me throughout the whole process via texting (which I wasn't used to but was okay with). We were in constant contact every couple of days regarding the next steps, interview preps, etc. The first interview went extremely well. In order to make it to the second in-person interview, I had to complete a very in-depth writing assessment. Took about 4 hours to compose. I passed. In fact the recruiter stated the company loved my responses. I then received an invite to the second in-person interview. The night before, I spoke with my recruiter. He encouraged me, gave me tips, told me to "be myself", pumped me up. This was the norm. I completed the second in-person interview. It went great as far as I could tell. I had prepared and felt I interviewed well. I contacted him immediately after the interview (as asked). Nothing. Two days later... still nothing. A week later... silence. No feedback. No confirmation. No phone call or email. It's as if I never existed. It's as if I didn't sacrifice multiple hours of PTO to commit to this process, hours of my personal time to complete a detailed writing prompt. Completely ghosted! This process took about 4 weeks and I was abandoned in the end. Even an impersonal, generic email informing me that I didn't get the job would have been appreciated at this point. I attempted to reach out to the recruiter and to Swoon at least 3 times. It's been over a month since I interviewed. Still nothing. Very disappointing... One word, Respect.
