]]> Comment on poor form in the valley by SP http://absolutgcs.org/2006/04/12/poor-form-in-the-valley/#comment-9138 SP Sat, 15 Mar 2008 14:23:15 +0000 http://absolutgcs.org/2006/04/12/poor-form-in-the-valley/#comment-9138 Unbelievable -- if the note here was indeed from SharpCast CEO. 2 years down and probably working with a new hiring manager its the same frustrating feeling they pass on to the interview candidates. I got phone screened recently and the hiring manager (quite technical) seemed to have found me a perfect match. He went into great details of my work, grilled me on a phone interview for 45 minutes and arranged for an onsite. i loved what they do and was excited to prove myself. At the on-site interview, I was scheduled for 4 hr interview. Great 3 interviews. All questions answered. "great job', 'nice work', "you look like a fit", 'exactly what we want', ' the CTO/CEO will talk to you and tell more ' .. reactions from the interviewers. I start feeling really good. 2.5 hours into the interview, walks in the recruiter. "They dont see you fit" -- abrupt, thats it. I asked why? "they didn't like your problem solving" WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? And what were the interviewers thinking? It was sad (an frustrating) to see this end like that. Not because I didnt get job offer, but the way this company goes about hiring and treating candidates. The reasoning was completely bogus. i tried following-up but I am yet to receive any detailed feedback for why they ended my interview abruptly. Sigh ... if you treat candidates this way - why wouldn't it extend to your customers? And all this when you are still 45 people strong!
