I was contacted by Focus Search Partners on behalf of Medidata regarding the Head of Talent position and after a 45 minute call I was told that I would be moving to next steps. I didn’t hear back so I followed up, didn’t hear back again and then the Principal owner emailed to set up next steps but with her again. I ended up having another 45 min interview and she asked me the SAME questions. It’s like she lost the notes from my first interview. Then I was told that I would be speaking to one of the leaders at Medidata and I would hear back after their meeting on Thursday I never heard back so I followed up. Never heard back again nor got a response and it’s been 2 months! I’m shocked that a company as prestigious as Medidata would hire a search firm with such lack of professionalism!! Doesn’t say much about the company. As a diverse Executive, it’s the worst interaction I’ve had with a search firm.
