A week after applying online a recruiter contacted me to set up a call. They were very enthused about me and set up a call with the hiring manager the following week, which I was told went well and would result in a 3rd and final interview. After chasing the recruiter for 2 weeks and being asked to provide my availability for the 3rd interview two different times, I was told they had elected to move forward with a different finalist. I could tell they were stringing me along before the recruiter gave me the bad news but I still felt blindsided and misled. I didn't appreciate being told I was still in consideration then finding out I was actually not. Overall the process was about a month which is too long to only have 2 interviews as well.

I got approached by an external recruiter about a BDR job. I asked more details about the job. I only got the JD. I was told that I would have to officially apply for the job to get more information about the job. I decided to apply and I was invited to a screening call. It went well although only then I was told who the client is, what I would be selling. After the call, I was invited to a 30 min self-paced online personality assessment. I completed it and the next day, I got a rejection email simply saying that my application will not be processed anymore. No real reason provided. I emailed and called the company recruiter, I got radio silence. I emailed the external recruiter asking what happened. She told me that for some reason, I failed the assessment, I asked how is that possible, then again radio silence. TTEC is a typical IT company that does nothing to stand out from the market / their competitors.
