To sum it up: 7 interviews + assessment that ended in a generic rejection. I genuinely enjoyed meeting the team and learning more about Homebound. My disappointment has little to do with the team and my conversations and all to do with this hiring process. The recruitment process at this company is fundamentally broken and disrespectful of candidates' time. I was put through an exhausting 7-round interview process that spanned 4 weeks, in addition to a 2-hour take-home assessment. The breakdown: 30-min HR screening 30-min video call with Marketing Director 2-hour take-home assessment 30-min video call with Sales Operations Director 30-min video call with Regional President 30-min "Alignment" interview 30-min video call with Marketing Associate 1-hour final in-person interview with the Director and Associate Requiring several hours of a candidate’s labor and focused attention just to issue a standard rejection indicates severe internal analysis paralysis and a lack of trust in their own hiring managers to make a decision. If a company requires this much bureaucracy and consensus to hire a single role, it is a massive red flag for how slowly decisions are made on a day-to-day basis. My feedback (even though I received none): Streamline your hiring process. Consolidate your rounds. If you are going to require candidates to invest a part-time job's worth of hours into your interview process, the bare minimum requirement is a personalized feedback phone call, not a cold rejection. Based on my many conversations, this was incredibly surprising and disheartening.
