I recently interviewed with Studio/FitRepublic, and I feel compelled to share my negative recruitment experience. Despite my initial excitement about the opportunity, the in-person interview with the HR team left me deeply disappointed. The interview, lasting a mere 5 minutes, felt more like an interrogation and was extremely unprofessional, with the team frequently checking their phones. I was initially screened via a phone interview, leaving me with a positive impression. However, the subsequent face-to-face interview was the complete opposite. While recognizing that not every candidate is the right fit, the accusatory tone and questions of why I even applied, or stating they weren't looking to train, reeked of unprofessionalism. I wish there had been more transparent communication on the phone call about my experience, which would have saved time for both parties. The cherry on top was to be told at the end "good luck on your job search". Any HR personnel with any sense of etiquette would have the tact to wait atleast a day before rejecting a candidate. I applied for the role advertised as I heard positive reviews about the studio and it was inspiring to learn about the founder's history of leaving the corporate world with a leading multinational to start his own wellness facility. As someone who has worked with global brands with robust recruitment processes and established market presence, I strongly feel your team could benefit from training on emotional intelligence. Displaying disinterest in your candidates' enthusiasm to apply, interrogative remarks, and bad body language screams disrespect. A positive candidate journey can significantly enhance your employer presence in the market, and I hope this feedback is taken constructively to improve your internal processes. I only wish I had read reviews on Glassdoor prior to accepting this 5-minute interview opportunity.
