I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Brandbassador in Feb 2024
Interview
They contacted me to schedule a first screening call interview, the first call went really well and I was told they would get back to me with a feedback either if positive or negative.
Never heard from them, emailed them after a week, no reply.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Brandbassador in Sep 2022
Interview
A member of their recruitment team reached out to me as they said my profile caught their attention and invited me for an initial phone conversation with another member of their team.
Lovely lady and great interview, answered all of my questions and took in what I was saying.
She mentioned I will hear back on Monday about the next step in the interview process.
However I did not hear anything from anyone on the Monday, I reached out to them via email to no response and also reached out to the original person who got in touch, however I didn’t receive a response until Tuesday, to which they mentioned I did really well in the interview ( didn’t mention anything negative) but they believed I should go into sales instead.
I asked why was this the case seeing as the interview was fine and they were the ones who reached out but never got a response back from them.
I believe the role never existed in the first place and this was just their way of getting people to join their sales team.
Advice to management: if you are reaching out to people please be honest and have clear communication skills, do not ignore them and be up front.
Having my time wasted and being lied to is no way to attract new employees. At least give people the benefit of the doubt and respond back to them instead of ignoring them.

Question 1
General questions about my experience and interest
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Brandbassador
Interview
Phone call with team lead first, then they asked me to attend an interview with one of the CEOs, and to prepare a presentation/ pitch for one of their clients. They gave me less than 24 hours notice for the presentation and I had to take time off work to prepare for it. It went well, but I then never heard from them or their recruiter ever again. Made me glad to not work for them as how they treat people before they hire you is how they will treat you as an employee! Basic lack of respect for people's time - as other reviews state.
