HR accepted another candidate and I kept being strung along
The HR from an SME company reached out to me. She send me the application form and said she need it within one hour time. After filling up and sending her she called me to schedule an interview. I was elated, the next day when I was on my way to the company for an interview. She called me and said we already shortlisted a candidate today. I was agitated but I remained calm and thank her and hang up.
The next day she called me and asked if I’m still available for the interview claiming that the candidate didn’t sign the offer letter. She send me a calendar invite for the face-to-face interview and asked me to be there early. Upon arrival at the office, she told me the interview was cancelled we hired a candidate earlier before you came.
I did not utter a word and left the place immediately. On my way home, I was crying hysterically. But after crying I realized one point, I did my part by attending the interview and arriving early.
It was the company HR who is terrible. If you all choose a candidate it’s perfectly fine with me. Do have the basic courtesy to inform the other candidates.
On a positive note, I think it’s a good opportunity for me to witness such a terrible company with the worst ethics.
Here are what netizens think:
- You should named the company so other people can avoid wasting their time.
- This kind of company should be ban from posting job ads.
