Thank you for responding. I want to clarify that my review was not about fit or the outcome of the interview process. I am very comfortable with how interviews work and have hired, interviewed and worked at senior level for many years. My feedback was about process and professional courtesy. The final in-person interview took place on 17 December. I followed up by email on 19 December as asked to do by Reperio, again on 6 January and again on 23 January and I also phoned twice during that period. On each call I was told the Reperio was busy. At no point did I receive an acknowledgement, update or closure. During January, a different full time marketing role was advertised publicly, a marketing executive role, while candidates from the earlier process remained unanswered. I fully understand Christmas pressures and operational demands. However, a brief holding email at any point over a six-week period would have addressed this. The absence of any response is what I described as discourteous. On location, the role discussed was a part time Marketing Manager position (three days per week, office-based). I applied knowingly, I was travelling from Coleraine so a train to Belfast city centre 3 times a week wasnt a big deal, I confirmed availability clearly and outlined practical arrangements that made this workable. But there was continued focus on this point throughout the process felt disproportionate given the nature of the role. Regarding the interview itself, openness about a business is valuable and we all welcome that. However, a three hour interview that is completely one way, with literally one question asked to me, again on location, instead of questioning the candidate’s experience and then talking extensively negatively about previous marketing efforts and employees etc is a reasonable concern for any professional assessing leadership style and working culture. My review was written to reflect that recruitment experiences matter because they are often the clearest indication of how an organisation operates day to day. Employer brand is shaped by behaviour and follow-through, not messaging alone.
