I interviewed with Specright for over two months and completed six interviews, including an initial HR screen, assessments, two hiring managers, the Chief Revenue Officer, and two additional senior/director-level leaders. The final interview was with one of the senior-level leaders.
The interviews themselves were generally positive. The process surrounding them was disorganized and poorly managed.
Multiple interviewers openly stated they did not know who I had already spoken with, where I was in the process, or why they were meeting with me. Several explicitly said they were not decision-makers. There was no shared context, ownership, or alignment across the interview panel. I remained professional and flexible throughout.
During the process, I was told I was being considered for more than one role. Before my interview with the Chief Revenue Officer, I reached out to HR with clarifying questions so I could prepare appropriately. I never received a response.
After my sixth interview, one of the hiring managers proactively reached out to check in. I replied promptly. From that point forward, all communication stopped.
The recruiting point of contact changed mid-process. After the final interview, I followed up with the recruiter and then with the alternate contact listed in the recruiter’s out-of-office message, a senior People leader. Neither message was acknowledged.
This entire process took place across major holidays. Even accounting for that, it would have taken minimal effort to provide a brief update or rejection. After more than two months of time investment and extensive senior-level involvement, ignoring a candidate entirely reflects a lack of basic respect and accountability.
Rejecting a candidate after this process would have been disappointing but professional. Silence is neither.
