Such a weird experience with this company. Their "Head of Talent" reached out via email twice before I sent them a response. They seemed eager to talk to me and never having heard of them before, I wanted to give them a chance to pitch their position/company. The company is headquartered in the US and I'm based in Canada so I made it clear with this person that I'm not open for positions in the US. That's when I got told that the position was indeed in Canada and they wanted to talk. All this happened via a bunch of emails back and forth over a week and a half maybe. On finally scheduling a call with this person through their assistant, I got another email about the cancellation of the call within hours of scheduling it. At this point, I was very confused and reached out to this person. They initially kept repeating that there has been a last minute change of location for the position and now they're hiring for someone in Canada. I told them with proof that I am indeed based in Canada and I already made them aware of this fact earlier in the conversation. That's when they admitted that there has been a mix-up by their assistant and they're interested to talk to me again. At this point, I got very frustrated that they couldn't manage such a simple thing and I politely declined to take this further. I told them that these are red flags for me and that it wasn't such a good first impression. While this person apologized to me about the mixup, they sounded rather arrogant in their email by saying, "I wish you a mistake-free future". Sorry but you cannot waste someone's time like that and expect them to still be at your disposal and work with you. People often forget that an interview is a two way street where a potential employer and employee both assess each other for a fit. I refuse to work for a "tech company" that does not even have a simple candidate tracking system to avoid such goof ups.
