I went through a two-month interview process for a senior creative role that was slow, inconsistent, and poorly managed. Communication dragged on, with several follow-ups needed just to get updates. My first interview started 15 minutes late and was cut short. Later stages required a detailed creative task and in-person presentation, both of which took significant time and energy. After submitting my task — clearly marked as original and copyrighted throughout — I later saw elements of it appear in RIXO’s public content. Feedback at the end directly contradicted earlier praise from the founder, and the role was redefined after final interviews, showing a lack of internal clarity. Overall, the process felt disorganised, disrespectful of candidates’ time, and intellectual property. Advice to Management: — Respect the time and creative energy that candidates invest. — Do not use or reference candidates’ work without permission. — Improve internal alignment before hiring and communicate transparently throughout the process. — Structure interviews professionally and start them on time — these details matter. Overall, a very disorganised and unprofessional interview process – candidates deserve better.
