Early December telephone screening. Mid Dec. in person with HR and Project Team member in Montreal. 2nd Interview with Hiring Manager from France last week of Dec. Was told decision to be made after the New Year, give about 2 weeks for decision. Every week sent checkin emails to either HR or Hiring Manager. Found out end of January Internal candiate showed interest and was interviewing one who was bilingual. Was told I was still in the top 3. Hiring Manager decided to go with Internal Bilingual candidate. If you wanted bilingual-STATE that in job description. I wasted 7 weeks, improve your interviewing process.
