Talent team reached out for the senior position and wanted to organise an interview, which I was clearly happy to participate in. What they didn't tell me was that they'd been recruiting for a while and had already short listed someone else.
After spending an hour going into a fair amount of detail, I received another email saying Great News! we want to organise a session with the VP and Co-Founder.
Literally on the morning of the interview I receive an email saying that they're no longer interested, because they have offered the other candidate.
What a complete and utter waste of time and effort.
All of this could have been easily avoided with a bit of honesty up front.
Would suggest anyone else interviewing at Grape Up ask where they are in the process before proceeding with a detailed interview, as you may spend time and effort to proceed, then not proceed.
