Disrespectful. I hope that Zoom understands the negative impression their recruiters are making on potential candidates.

I applied via Zoom's career site/Workday and was contacted by a recruiter about a week later to formally interview for the position (phone interview stage). I scheduled some time with her via the calendar she provided and sent a follow-up email to further confirm the day/time. Unfortunately, the recruiter no-showed on the scheduled day/time. I immediately reached out via email to humbly suggest I misunderstood the time zones (I know I did not, I was just trying to help her save face) and to try and reschedule. I did not receive a response to this email, and two days later I received an automated rejection email. Funny enough, that email included a prompt to write this review, so here we are.

Overall, I found this experience to be incredibly disrespectful to me as a candidate. I imagine I was simply some checkbox for the recruiter to be able to say "I contacted X candidates for this position." Whether that's true or not, this recruiter seemingly forgot that I'm a human being with responsibilities and hopes of my own. It's a slap in the face to have scheduled a time for an interview and have them not show up whatsoever without any contact.

It takes time to apply and properly prepare for these interviews, and Zoom's recruiters seemingly could not care less about the applicant.

Perhaps this gives some insight as to what working at this company would actually be like. Buyer beware.

The recruiter no-showed, so no questions were asked.
