I had 3 stages of interviews with Etsy for a CRM Developer role (contract). The overall interview process was great, all interviewers were professional. However, I was then ghosted and when I tried to follow up via with the interviewers via email, I was ignored. I then had to chase the agency for feedback, in which they said my experience was too “technical” but this is a technical position and they also stated that my experience was mainly on the platform Marketo, which I have never used. To be ghosted after all my efforts is really discouraging and then to top it off they gave me feedback which I think was for someone else. It just screams LAZY!

I recently had an interview with Etsy for a CRM Developer position (contract), facilitated through an agency. The interview itself was a positive experience. The interviewer was professional, friendly, and provided a good overview of the role and company culture. I felt confident that my skills and experiences matched the job requirements, as detailed in my CV. However, after the interview, I did not receive any direct feedback from Etsy. Unfortunately, I was left in the dark and felt ghosted by the company. The only information I received came from the agency, which mentioned that someone at Etsy thought I lacked sufficient experience for the role. This feedback was surprising, considering the extensive relevant experience outlined in my CV. While the initial interaction was positive, the lack of follow-up and detailed feedback was disappointing. Constructive feedback would have been appreciated to help me understand any gaps in my qualifications or interview performance. I hope Etsy can improve their communication process for future candidates.
