Sich an Absprachen und Rückmeldungsversprechen halten

Bitte den Prozess auf Augenhöhe gestalten. BewerberInnen mit sehr viel Erfahrung brauchen das seniorige Pendant auf Recruiting-Seite, alles andere ist keine Wertschätzung.

Ich wusste zu jedem Schritt genau wie es weitergeht, was ich erwarten konnte und was von mir erwartet wird.
Vor allem habe ich sehr geschätzt dass auf meine viele Fragen eingegangen worden ist. Das Team hat sich viel Zeit genommen.

I had an initial video interview with a hiring manager, which seemed promising. The conversation was friendly and aligned with the company’s advertised values of transparency and openness. However, after that first round, I never heard back – no follow-up, no rejection email, no update. I followed up once after two weeks and again after a month, but received complete radio silence.

Ghosting applicants is not just unprofessional—it’s disrespectful. Especially for a company that claims to promote open communication and a collaborative work environment. If you expect candidates to respect your time, the courtesy should be mutual.

During the interview, the team highlighted their “flat hierarchy” as a key selling point. While this sounds great in theory — promoting autonomy and quick decision-making — in practice, it seems to result in ambiguous roles and a lack of clear advancement paths. Without defined leadership tiers or structured development tracks, it's hard to see how one could grow professionally or take on more responsibility over time.

Interview questions:
* What have you discovered about Aleph Alpha in your research?
* What are your non-negotiables?
* Several standard technical questions.

Dear Aleph Alpha Team,
I tried ti reach out to you, but unfortunately did not find a fair solution to clarify your points, therefore posting it here.
As a reason for rejection you stated:
- Role-specific experience
- Seniority level
- Industry-based experience (e.g AI or Machine learning but also start-up or scale-up)

Role-specific experience: the role is marked as Entry Level (Berufseinstieg) on LinkedIn. I have a very good backgorund in IT for the role, education and further education even for Entry Level role. If specific epreinece is needed, it is not an entry role.
Seniority level: again, it is entry level. Someone who enters does not have high-seniority. I have experience and great interest for that!
Industry-based experience (e.g AI or Machine learning but also start-up or scale-up): I have experience in start-ups ans well in big companies, it is stated in my CV which was "after careful consideration". AI / ML I do not have commersial experience, but being in IT for many years, considering my Education, further Education and ability to self-learning in this area... What could go wrong here...

Once again, dear HR Team I would suggest to change a rejection template, because what is written there does not match reality, my CV.

Or remove "after careful consideration", bc it is not careful consideration. Or give real reasons. Or be careful not to mix up rejections reasons.
You would like to have a pure match for the positon (in my case it was lack of a couple of items, which are not even at the first place in description), for that you also have to demonstrate that you deserve this full match! So far there is a lot space for improvement (for you)

Sometimes it is better to hire someone who has a great interest, relevant background and give an ability to grow, while full match is just a full match.

BR
a cool candidate you sadly missed

Habe extra einen Assistent gebaut, der, basierend auf meinem Lebenslauf, Fragen über mich beantwortet, natürlich mit Luminous (AA's KI). Habe nicht mal eine Absage erhalten, einfach nur gar nix. Das hat meine Meinung über Aleph Alpha maßgeblich beeinflusst, sehr professionell wirkt das auf mich nicht. Man kann nur hoffen, dass das Produkt besser ist als die Kommunikation.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

- Clearer understanding of success criteria
- Good company intro (mission/purpose)
