Senior Quality Assurance Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
Very unprofessional hiring of senior positions.
A senior recruiter approached me directly on LinkedIn for a Senior QAE position in NY, NY. I went ahead and an interview was scheduled, even after contacting her thrice for confirmation.
After the initial phone screen, there was no reply for 3 days. Finally, I heard that a candidate was already hired for this position, and the position was removed from all portals.
Both individuals' time would have been saved if she had informed me earlier about this.
It's been really unprofessional that for a senior position, a recruiter can merely do something like this.
