I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at dsm-firmenich in Sep 2020
Interview
Interview process started with HR interview and then an online video based interview. Followed with video interviews with hiring manager, technical dev engineer, and Commercial director. Finally another interview with HR. After weeks of interviewing and countless hours I did not even receive a follow up on the results of the interview. Highly unprofessional and disrespectful especially when the industry is small enough where I will come across these people again.
I applied online. I interviewed at dsm-firmenich in Apr 2017
Interview
Applied online and a recruiter called about 2 weeks later for initial screening. She asked pretty general questions to gauge my interest and learn about my background. She said they were very motivated to hire and I would hear from a senior recruiter within the next couple days(we've all heard that one before). I sent a polite email about a week later which I thought was appropriate, simply asking if I was still be considered for next steps. Crickets. Waited a few days and forwarded the same email asking if she received it. Crickets. I assume at this point that I'm no longer in the running, but I really would appreciate a firm response and possibly feedback. I'm in sales, I can take it.
