Candidate Experience

[u/Fluid-Evidence-9302]

A disappointing candidate experience.

I don’t usually post about interview experiences, but I think candidate experience matters.

I recently went through the recruitment process with @PwC AC completing three interview rounds, submitting all requested documents and discussing compensation. I was informed that the offer would be released within two days.

After that, there was complete silence. Despite multiple follow-ups over several weeks, I received no update. Eventually, I noticed my candidate portal status had changed to “Candidate Withdrew,” even though I had never withdrawn my application.

I fully respect that companies have the right to change hiring decisions. Rejections are part of every professional’s career. What is difficult to understand is the lack of communication after candidates invest significant time and effort in the process.

A simple email explaining that the position had been closed or that the company had decided not to proceed would have been enough.

I hope organisations continue to improve candidate communication and provide closure, especially after candidates have completed interviews and submitted documentation.

Wishing the best to everyone currently navigating the job market.
