I applied for the Front Desk Manager position and was politely informed, eight days later, that the role had been filled. However, I was offered the opportunity to be considered for the Front Desk Supervisor position instead. I appreciated the consideration and was genuinely open to the opportunity. The Talent Specialist shared the salary range in euros, and I kindly asked for the conversion in Canadian dollars, just to better understand the offer. From that moment on - complete silence.
It's been over two weeks with no follow-up or acknowledgment. What added to my
disappointment was that, for weeks leading up to my application, I had seen the role advertised with a starting salary listed in Canadian dollars - for approximately $30,000 CAD. More than what they have listed now. After I asked about the conversion, the salary range was suddenly removed from the posting. That lack of transparency felt evasive and dismissive.
To be clear, the issue wasn't the amount. I understood that the quoted salary in Euro may well have translated to the previous posted amount. What was disappointing was the refusal to clarify, answer a basic question, or maintain open communication with someone genuinely interested in the role.
Aire is a premium brand; one that promotes a sense of elegance, care, and detail. But if this is how they treat experienced candidates who are genuinely interested in contributing to their vision, it raises serious concerns about how internal communication and respect for talent are managed.
Companies should remember: not everyone applying is desperate or unqualified. Some of us bring leadership, loyal clientele, and a passion for this industry. Failing to follow through doesn't just turn away great talent - it damages your brand from the inside out.
