Met with HR for prescreen for a 30 mins initial intake. Then Set up an interview with decision maker for the next day. All done virtually via Microsoft teams even though I live just down the street from the office.

The interview process for the Marketing Director position took over 2 months and went as follows: - phone interview with the outside recruiter, - video call with HR Director, - video call with the new COO, - in person meeting with the COO, - in person final meeting with the COO and owner's wife who oversees marketing. I was asked questions and barely allowed to complete my answers. After the last interview 3 weeks of silence. When I contacted the COO and kindly asked for feedback, I was completely ignored. I then contacted the HR and finally received response: sorry we did not have time to inform you. We selected another candidate. Such an unprofessional and disrespectful treatment of a candidate who spent 2 MONTHS in the selection process and even provided a sample marketing activity plan for 2025 that the COO asked me to send over email. Avoid at all cost!! Toxic and unprofessional.
