Software Engineer Interview Experience - Canada

September 1, 2025
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Job ID: 1846593, Canada

Applied online in July 2025. The recruiter reached out in August.

Completed initial screening questions and was told the process would move forward. I was instructed to provide interview availability, which I did.

And after that:

  • Despite multiple follow-ups, I received no interview details.
  • My emails and calls to the recruiter and scheduler went unanswered; the recruiter’s phone number returned “not assigned.”
  • I had to find a different contact in the candidate portal on my own.

After requesting a reschedule, I waited nearly two weeks with no response. When I checked the portal, I found my application had been marked “withdrawn” without any notice or explanation.
