The first interview I had was with the recruiter. She was friendly but seemed rushed. After the recruiter interview I was sent a cognitive test and after that I was scheduled for an interview with the hiring manager, who seemed very distracted and like he was not paying attention to my answers. During the interview the hiring manager explained that my experience was exactly what he was looking for so I felt good after the interview. I interviewed on April 3 and was basically ghosted until I sent a follow-up email to the recruiter. The next morning I received a generic rejection email, which didn't make sense to me. How'd we go from "this is exactly what I'm looking for" to "we're not proceeding with your application"? During the interview I demonstrated my expertise (10+ years) and gave really good concrete examples of my prior work and experience. Lendable's website states that during the interview process you'll receive communication from the talent acquisition specialist (recruiter) and will receive feedback throughout the process. All of that is not true. I was really excited about Lendable and believe my experience is a great fit and just wish I caught the hiring manager on a better day. At one point he stopped mid-sentence and said, "Sorry, I'm getting distracted by how beautiful it is outside." How unfortunate.
