After an initial phone screen, my recruiter recommended I apply for this position rather than the one for which I had sent in my resume. I gave it some thought and agreed (I was excited that Hubspot had any interest in me, really), at which point he scheduled an in-house interview. That went well, so he moved me on to the next step: a series of 5 in-office interviews, back to back, with people of varying positions related to the opening. These all went well, but they decided to go with another (more experienced) candidate instead of me. All of this was great, thumbs up, would apply again. But here's where things got really disappointing. I was invited to apply for another position, as one of the higher-ups who interviewed me "really wanted me at Hubspot". It was lower paying, for someone with my lower level of experience. I accepted, and my recruiter told me he would be in touch to schedule the next steps. I touched base with him after a few days (end of the week-- he'd said repeatedly through this whole process that if I didn't hear from him by then, to reach out). He got back to me, and was very enthusiastic in informing me that he's wrapping up the original openings and then will get back to me. More days go by, more silence, I reach out again, another enthusiastic response; repeat once more. I finally emailed him to tell him I felt like I'd been forgotten. He got back to me (pretty quickly) to apologize and say I had not, and he's working on it. I sent him one more "Okay, just let me know!" email, and that was the last interaction we had. I was under the impression that Hubspot was quite interested in having me on board. But that impression was dashed over weeks of being strung out. Where the failure is-- on the part of the recruiter, or him having too severe a workload, or somewhere else, I can't say. But I hope that the recruiting team sees this and tries to figure out what happened, and improve that bit of the process, because the outcome was pretty disappointing.
