分享我向HR投诉一个阿三interviewer的邮件
当时写邮件前还专门先打电话口头投诉。
虽然知道影响不了什么,也得恶心一下他,让HR看看他有没有玩猫腻
Hi Ella and Siew Lin, unfortunately my feedback to the interview and interviewer is very negative. It wasted me 30mins of time, effort to fix the camera issue and some of my patience. Let me tell you why.
During the first call to arrange an interview, my application was mistaken with another role (accountant manager?). Not a big deal as I believe such thing could happen when coordinating with numerous CVs and hiring managers. However today's interview with Raghul was simply terrible:
1. Rahul walked away to spent about 10 minutes on another "important" incoming call. If 1min quick break I can understand but it was obviously an engaged discussion. That is very unpleasant and reflects to me that:
a. Interviewer is not respectful to candidate's time;
b. If it is a call that could must be answered by him immediately in the middle of an interview, your company has a high key man risk.
c. If it is from someone that Rahul always has to answer immediately, something wrong with the company's culture and management. I hope this is not the case.
2. When Rahul came back to the desk, he asked me to continue, but he was still checking his phone when I spoke. I had to ask him to settle his stuff first before we moved on.
3. Despite above disruption, I kept my patience and expected more rounds of communication afterwards. However, the rewards of my manner was Rahul's quick conclusion that there is no skill matching, while we were still in our first question. To me it was a vague question. I tried to answer it in a few different ways to align with Rahul's points, while he didn't seem satisfied, neither attempted to guide. When I asked for his answer to the question, he just gave similar answer as mine, saying that I didn't articulate it well, which I totally disagree.
4. When I interview candidates, I ask them at least 3 questions to assess the strength and weakness objectively. I believe you know much better than me why not to conclude based on only one question.
5. Rahul mentioned he expected the candidate to already have the counter party credit risk experience as fundamental skills. It was not highlighted in my CV, nor confirmed with me via call. I don't know how my profile was picked up and agreed by Rahul for interview. It shows poor communication/process within the company.
Rahul may argue that he naturally expects it from a candidate working in risk for a sizable bank. That expectation is wrong, because the bank is big and people specialise in different areas. To me it shows arragonce when you don't know the outside world, and deny them based on 1 question.
After all, my feedback to you is: improve your recruitment process and respect to candidates.
The last thing you want to hear from candidate is: luckily I didn't passed the interview. That is my feeling today. :)
Take care
