The first step was a phone screen where we discussed my basic skills and how they related to the position. That conversation went well and I was moved forward to the next round. About two weeks later, I had a second interview with the sales manager, Jesse, which also seemed very positive. At the end of the interview—literally within the last five minutes—he clearly stated that I would be moving forward to the next round with the VP. However, the very next day I received an automated email saying they were no longer moving forward with my application. This completely contradicted what was communicated to me during the interview. Thinking it might have been a mistake, I called HR (the same person who conducted my initial phone screen). They told me they would look into what happened and get back to me. Unfortunately, I never received any follow-up or explanation. The lack of communication, contradictory messaging, and failure to follow up after promising to investigate reflects a very disorganized and unprofessional hiring process. Candidates invest time preparing for interviews and deserve clear, honest communication. This experience left the impression that internal communication and respect for candidates are not priorities.

I had a 15 or so minute call with a recruiter. The call went well and I was more than qualified for the position, having 2 years in SAAS and previous sales experience before that. Even with that, I was not even offered a formal interview and rejected via email a few days later.
