Sending a less experienced individual to interview a much more senior candidate for the same role made no sense. It raises the question—how can someone with significantly less experience fairly assess a senior professional? To make matters worse, there was no basic courtesy extended to inform the candidate about the outcome. Initially, there was an unnecessary rush to schedule the interview, but once it was over, the team went completely silent. This level of unprofessionalism reflects poorly on the organization and suggests deeper issues within. Best to steer clear.
