I had a lovely initial phone conversation with the head of HR and then brought in quickly for an in-person interview her and another HR associate. I thought that the interview went very well and was given a leadership strength take-home quiz. I sent the results of my quiz to the head of HR and she never responded. I then never heard back as to whether they had moved forward with other candidates. Since I didn’t know where the position stood, I accepted another job offer and notified the head of HR as a courtesy. Again, I never heard back. For a small company with probably a limited number of in-person interviews, the right thing to do is to follow up with the people who take the time to come into your office for hours and complete take-home assignments for you. I was ultimately very disappointed in the lack of professionalism here, especially from the one department that is supposed to represent the way that employees and applicants are treated and valued at a company. Too bad. I hope the role worked out well for someone else.
