The recruitment process would benefit from significantly greater transparency, professionalism, and respect for candidates' time. Key information about the process was not communicated upfront, including the requirement for a second-round interview to take place in England rather than at the advertised location in Basel. Such details should be disclosed early, ideally in the job posting itself, so candidates can make informed decisions before investing substantial time in the process.

The communication throughout the process felt inconsistent and lacked authenticity. While the interviews initially created the impression of a positive and serious evaluation, the process concluded with an automated rejection and no meaningful feedback. For a senior-level position, this approach feels impersonal and does not reflect the level of professionalism one would expect.

The company should also reconsider how candidates are treated during the interview process. A respectful candidate experience requires honest communication, clear expectations, and transparency regarding decision-making. Investing significant time in multiple interview rounds only to receive a generic automated response leaves the impression that candidates' efforts are not sufficiently valued.

Overall, there appears to be a gap between the professional image presented during recruitment and the actual candidate experience. Improving transparency, communication quality, and respect for applicants would significantly enhance the credibility and effectiveness of the hiring process.
