The interview process was very slow and lacking in consistent communication. It consisted of a phone screen with a recruiter, in person interview with the District manager and a panel phone interview consisting of the Zone Manager, Operations Manager, HR Manager and the District Manager. All interviews went well and they liked my extensive background in management. The interviews resulted in a low-ball offer despite being aware of the range I gave them. At every step, my range was not a concern! After a very positive conversation, I asked if they could work with me on the offer? The DM said he would see what he could do and get back to me "tomorrow." However, I got NOTHING! After I left voicemails, emails and a text, they FAILED to respond and give any explanation. They chose to avoid responsibility to proper professionalism! I even sent a email to the HR manager who participated in the panel interview and got NOTHING back. If you're knowingly going to low-ball talented and experienced managers, you need to be prepared to negotiate. If you're NOT willing to negotiate, don't tell your candidate you will call back the next day with no intention of calling. Truth is, I was very excited about the opportunity and was willing to accept less than my original range. However, I never expected this treatment. I'm shocked a company like Bridgestone would support/allow this type of hiring practice from its leadership team while its own HR turns its cheek! I was good enough for a offer but not deserving of respectful professionalism! I can only imagine how this type of leadership negatively impacts field team engagement!
