      Chief of Staff Interview

      12 Jul 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Pivotal Future (London, England) in Jun 2023

      Interview

      I found Pivotal Future to be very disrespectful towards candidates. It may be a start-up, but much of this is just common courtesy and basic human decency. I was interviewed twice by one of the co-founders. In the first interview, he just asked me what questions I had and this was how we spent 30 minutes. Strange, I thought, but maybe this was an interview technique in itself. I was invited back for a second interview but they said they couldn't find any availability with the proposed second interviewer so I was re-interviewed by the same co-founder. At this point, I had already realised that this was unlikely to go anywhere for me, but I still prepared as requested: 30 mins case study, 20 mins on questions about my experience, 10 mins for me to ask questions. We did the case study and then again I was asked what questions did I have. We spent the next 30 mins like this. It is hugely disrespectful and time-wasting to ask candidates to prepare in a certain way and then do something entirely different. Then they took two weeks to respond with a generic rejection email, despite me sending a polite email after a week of not hearing anything. Upon the not-unexpected rejection, I asked for feedback. You won't be surprised to learn that it's been a week now without even acknowledgement of my email. All in all, this was a hugely disappointing experience which left a sour taste. I would advise them to look at their recruitment processes as they will need to get on top of this as they grow, especially if going forward they are going to rely on B2B relationships for revenue. I would also be wary of working for any company that treats prospective employees with such disregard.

      Question 1

      What questions do you have for me? (I was asked this in both interviews, in lieu of any other questions to explore my experience and fit for the role)
