Please offer real feedback to the rejected candidates on why were they rejected and don't send automated rejection emails
Ich habe ein übliches Vorstellungsgespräch bei der Personalabteilung absolviert und anschließend zwei tolle Gesprächsrunden sowohl mit meiner zukünftigen Vorgesetzten als auch mit deren Chef. Ich war mir wirklich sicher, dass ich es in die letzte Runde – das „Kennenlernen des Teams“ – schaffen würde, aber ich habe nie wieder etwas von der Personalabteilung gehört. Es ist schon einen Monat her! Ich habe mich sogar eine Woche nach dem letzten Vorstellungsgespräch gemeldet, aber immer noch keine Antwort oder Rückmeldung erhalten.
Offensichtlich habe ich die Stelle nicht bekommen, aber gar nichts zu hören, ist unglaublich unprofessionell. Ich bin schockiert, dass sie potenzielle Mitarbeiter so behandeln.
Leider eine typische amerikanische Unternehmung, keine Transparenz und keine Offenheit.
Die Stellen, welche ausgeschrieben sind, existieren gar nicht.
I applied for this position with relevant work experience, including the specific tool they are using. Screening with recruiter was ok. She told me it would take about 1 week (hopefully less in her words) for me to hear back from her. After 1.5 week passed, I sent an email. A few days after my email, and circa 2 weeks after our call, she writes me saying they decided to move on with other candidates. Not a single piece of feedback or reasoning as to why I didn't pass the first screening, even though I am qualified, have the required work experience and an internal referral from a current employee. I replied to the email asking for feedback, which she never replied. That was at the end of November.
- As interviewer be competent and prepared for the interview. Know your company, the department, the tools the company uses and what the role entails which you are recruiting for.
- Simply be prepared for job-related candidate's questions.
- Show interest during the interview.
- Get back with a 'no' at least. Ghosting does not make a good impression (despite several follow-ups I haven't received any official rejection for 3 months.)
the job description mentioned development opportunities, but during the interview it quickly became clear that there was no possibility of full-time employment or further development to management level - whoever is supposed to be able to afford to live in this city on less than 30.000 EUR gross per year... This quickly makes it clear what their employees mean to the company.
In addition, the HR contact person seemed very uninformed and competent
Invitation to job interview, cancellation 4 hours before the interview with a standardized reply. Suddenly, the recruitment process for the position has been completed while interviews are still scheduled? Processes seem to be very poorly coordinated here.
Communication & organisation:
* Confirm the availability of all stakeholders before informing candidates about interviews to prevent last-minute changes or cancellations.
* If unforeseen changes occur, ensure timely communication with candidates and within your own team.
Two "in-person" interviews were unexpectedly moved online due to poor planning by stakeholders. One interview was shifted online, allegedly because the interviewer was unavailable, though I later learned they had simply overbooked their calendar. That meeting was then rescheduled once more, and moved to an earlier time on the newly set date. During my office visit, another interviewer withdrew at the last minute and opted to conduct the interview online instead. While emergencies happen, this situation exposed a complete breakdown in communication, not just with me as a candidate, but also within the company's own team, as colleagues seemed unaware of the change. The rushed setup for the online interview further disrupted the schedule, causing significant delays.
Professional preparation and atmosphere:
* Ensure the interview room is suitable for extended sessions, maintaining a comfortable temperature to support focus and well-being.
* Choose a room that offers more privacy to minimise distractions and help candidates perform at their best.
* Schedule breaks between sessions to allow candidates to recharge, and ensure the timetable accounts for potential delays to prevent rushed discussions.
Hats off to the receptionist for a warm welcome and thoughtful preparation of refreshments-he did a great job. However, the interview room was overheated (24°C), and its glass walls made the environment distracting and uncomfortable, with employees frequently walking past and looking in. Additionally, no breaks were scheduled between sessions, showing a lack of consideration for candidates' well-being. The last interviewer offered me a short break, but given the significant delays caused by the previous interviewer, and knowing that time was limited, I chose to proceed immediately and leave the premises as soon as possible.
Interview process and questions:
* Check all of your interview questions for clarity and organisation.
* Ensure each interviewer is well-prepared and follows a consistent format to maintain fairness and objectivity in the hiring process.
* Simplify the interview process to avoid excessive rounds (7 rounds for a mid-senior role is excessive), and ensure all participants are relevant to the role assessment.
Although I enjoyed the interview conversations, there is room for improvement to make the process more professional and efficient. Some interviewers seemed unsure about their role in the process and mentioned that the hiring manager had asked them to join. This was reflected in their interviewing style, which was pleasant but felt improvised, raising concerns about the overall structure and fairness of the selection process. I had the impression the role’s responsibilities were not fully established, as interviewers repeatedly asked me what I thought the job would involve. Additionally, the hiring manager initially outlined fewer steps than what actually took place, further contributing to the impression that the process was not well thought through and inconsistent.
The case study could have been conducted at home, giving applicants the opportunity to research the current state of the company’s customer service and provide more relevant, well-informed answers. Instead, it had to be completed under the direct observation of the manager, which did not foster a stimulating environment. Last but not least, some of the questions were poorly structured. For example, asking "Why sex toys?" instead of "Why would you like to work for our company?" felt vague and out of place, leaving me uncertain about what the interviewer was actually trying to assess. I asked some interviewers what they enjoy most about working at LoveHoney, but their responses left me wondering if it’s either an uninspiring workplace or one where excessive workloads keep employees stuck at their desks, even skipping lunch.
Follow up and overall impression:
* Respect candidates’ time and demonstrate basic courtesy by informing final candidates of the outcome.
The recruitment process at LoveHoney for the mid-senior role was the worst interview experience I've had. The most disappointing aspect, however, was the complete lack of follow-up communication. I was informed that interviews would continue for another week, yet they never bothered to provide any update, even when I reached out via email a month later to inquire about the final decision. I was effectively ghosted. I would strongly advise any professional who values their time and expectations not to apply to this company. The lack of respect for applicants, along the disorganisation and poor management, does not reflect a reputable professional environment.
I only completed the first interview round with HR, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The interviewer unprofessional, and showed no interest in presenting the company, team, or role, making it difficult to assess if the opportunity was a good fit. Due to this, I decided to withdraw from the process.
While I did not meet other team members, this initial interaction was a poor representation of the company.
Nach mehreren Bewerbungsschritten, sollte man den Bewerben wenigstens eine Absage schicken.
So verdient kununu Geld.
