The experience was chaotic, poorly managed and left me with the impression that SIA does not value the time or clarity owed to its candidates. The process began with me applying for the Senior Consultant role for a specific sector 'Insurance'. Shortly after the HR round, I had a call scheduled with the Managing Director of the 'Insurance Sector'. The conversation itself was fine and okay. However, just one day after this conversation, I was contacted by another Managing Director (this time from the 'Banking' division) who informed me that they urgently needed a resource for a project that was about to begin immediately. It became clear that internal coordination was lacking, and it felt as though my candidacy was being passed around any coherent plan. To make matters worse, I was then asked to schedule a call directly with the client. They asked me to sign a 'preliminary contract' where they proposed a specific role and contract ONLY if the scheduled meeting with the client was successful and the client response to the meeting was positive. Basically my contract and my full recruitment process was based on the client feedbacks. During the meeting (considering I was not a SIA employer) they started talking about the project (never participated to a banking project, firstly I applied to insurance role) and all the tasks, objectives and deadlines. After the meeting with the client they called me again by saying they would have contacted me for the final response. Since then I had no communication with SIA, they haven't reached out or gave me a final communication. Overall, I strongly recommend not to join this company. I would also strongly recommend that the company re-evaluates how it manages candidate transitions across teams and ensures proper communication and structure are in plance before involving external stakeholder such as clients.
