Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We can only apologize that you seem to have not enjoyed your interview experience. We'll try to respond to as many of your issues as we can, although admittedly, some of them are difficult to understand. For those, we'd love you to get in touch directly and tell us more. We're always looking for opportunities to improve.
Our waiting area can be fairly busy, dependent on the time of day. We share a reception with a few other businesses, which is common practice for many modern businesses. We do apologize if at the time of your interview it was a little chaotic. Our office building is home to many young, vibrant companies and the atmosphere can be reflective of that. We see it as a positive, and we hope to connect with people who feel that way too.
Our initial interview can seem fairly short, we admit, but we are clear about the nature of the interview in any communication we make before the fact. The interview is a short meet and greet, to get to know the candidate, see if we are on the same page, and also give them the chance to ask questions and get to know us, before moving on to a more serious and formal interview process. We assume that any candidates who attend the interview are aware of this, as we are very careful to let them know.
In the same way, we explain the second interview carefully at the first, in a way that we hope will make sure that any candidate attending it will know in advance what will be expected of them, and we encourage asking questions again. The interview is a fairly short practical assessment of the candidate's abilities, which is fairly commonplace when recruiting for a job that is based on hitting recruitment targets, and ultimately being a great communicator.
Unfortunately, as much as we would like it to be the case, we are not in control of how our reviews are presented or processed on Glassdoor. However, we do know that Glassdoor has very strict policies about submitting and processing reviews, that preclude any gaming of the system, either from reviewers or companies. All reviews go through a moderation process before they appear on the site, which confirms at the very least that they represent the opinions of real and unique employees.
We can't speak for what our employees claim to be or do not claim to be on LinkedIn. We're not in the business of controlling every aspect of their lives, but we can say that many people who work with us have achieved management roles in short periods of time and excel in those roles, and we support and stand behind those success stories, as much as we hope to work hard to try and turn every story at Haywire into a similar success story.
As we said, we'd love to hear more from you about your interview. Please do get in touch directly and we'll try to answer any questions and clear up any confusion there might be.
