Timewasters. If you reachout and tap up a senior executive to add to your candidate pool treat them with more respect! 1. "Urgent hire" ... 3 months + 2. Meeting with HR (30 mins) chemistry meeting -- wait 2 weeks -- 3. Meeting the APAC Marketing Director (60 mins) in Australia: chemistry meeting -- discussing what the role is -- wait 4-5 weeks -- 4. Get no feedback or updates. 5. You write to them, only for them to to tell you they've about filled the role. NO substantive discussion on your skills & experience NO feedback. NO update on progress NO transparency in the recruitment process, NO shortlisting. NO respect. Terrible disrespectul approach to recruitment which makes no sense and is unlikely to end well. Shameful.
