I interviewed for a leadership role at Valify and invested significant time preparing for an in-depth panel discussion with executive leadership, including the CEO and COO. While the mission and business model are compelling, the post-interview experience fell flat. After what was described as a critical, high-stakes position — complete with a written assignment, a live pitch, and a 90-minute panel — I never received a response or follow-up of any kind. No email, no update, no courtesy rejection. As a senior-level candidate with 15+ years of experience in healthcare strategy and partnerships, I expect a minimum level of professional respect. Silence after such a thorough process reflects poorly on leadership and raises questions about internal culture, communication, and values. Great companies treat people well — even those they don’t hire
