The interview process was excellent! I went through three different interview but the process was very efficient, recruiter and hiring manager provided consistent updates and time to decision was fast.

Question 1
Walk me through your experience and how you feel it relates to this role you are applying for,
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Benefitfocus in Jun 2023
Interview
After several interviews I was essentially verbally offered a job, then heard nothing. I had been away on a long vacation so I followed up via email upon my return and they quickly scheduled another meeting. Things seemed to be back on track, but then I was completely ghosted. I figured being ignored twice was a bad sign and I never followed up.
The recruiter was fantastic though. He was not the issue.
The recruiter setup the interview with the hiring manager and I met with them quickly. The interview was odd, it wasn’t behavioral at all and the hiring manager just asked me questions about my current employer almost as if they were on a fact, finding Mission about the state of the company. I followed up with the recruiter after the interview times each time she responded within 24 hours and continuously set expectations that I would know next steps by the following day, yet I had to follow up again. I learned that I wasn’t going to get an offer because the status of my application was changed online to complete but I was completely ghosted by the recruiter. During this time, I had another recruiter reach out to me for another role and I met with him and was promised a follow up by end of week or early next and we are into two weeks after that first interview. My application is still in review, but I have not heard anything. I’ve since accepted another role at another company, but the way I was treated wasn’t very professional.
