The HR representative had a very pleasant attitude when extending the invitation by phone, making me feel that they were genuinely committed to finding the right person.
The position applied for was Training and Development Specialist.
The following comments are based on a professional HR perspective.
1. There were many interview questions, but most were unrelated to the job and the interview was largely unstructured.
2. The questions were random and lacked a competency-based framework for assessing the candidate.
3. The interviewer did not proactively explain the process after the interview, such as how many days it would take to receive a response or whether there would be a second interview.
4. There was no follow-up after the interview. When I called to ask HR, their attitude was cold and very different from the attitude they had when inviting me to the interview. I only received a rejection letter after repeatedly asking for an update; without following up, I would not have received one. This was extremely disrespectful to the candidate.
5. The recruitment process needs to be improved.
