A truly awful experience all around. The recruiter reached out to schedule a call and then ghosted me for weeks. When we finally got a call scheduled, she was 15 minutes late and was annoyed that I had reached out checking in to see if the time still worked. She told me that the next step in the interview process was filling out a questionnaire document that she would email to me after the call. It took three weeks and multiple unanswered follow ups to finally get the document. I spent hours answering this giant document (10 interview questions and a creative consultation!) and sent it back to the recruiter before her deadline. Never got a confirmation it was received, I don't believe anyone even read what I wrote. Again, weeks went by without any updates and ignored follow up calls and emails. Finally got a generic automatic system rejection email months later. I get there are a high volume of skilled candidates applying to TNC and not everyone is going to move through the hiring process, but it takes 30 seconds to write "hi sorry no updates yet, we're expecting the hiring team to have a decision by X date, thanks for your patience!" Ghosting is so unprofessional, so disrespectful of my time, and honestly kind of pathetic. I couldn't imagine not responding to my customer's repeated attempts to reach out for basic information. Just a terrible experience, I'm really disappointed this is how to the Nature Conservancy treats their candidates, makes me think they're not a great employer. I was hoping that this was an outlier experience, but I'm currently having the same thing happen right now with a different role. Feels like this company is taking advantage of candidates looking for meaningful, mission driven work. Don't think I hate myself enough to apply here again after this.
