I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Springbok IT (Dallas, TX) in Sep 2024
Interview
A recruiter contacted me via LinkedIn. Set up a call with them and their manager (i guess, it wasn't clear the person's position) and had a great interview. Though the position was new, the requirements and responsibilities for the positon were directly in line with my leadership experiences. As I stated, the call went well and they sent a RTR for me to sign so we can commence to next steps. I sent a thank you email. Early the next morning, the recruiter called and asked if I could add my MONTHS to my resume. I politely declined and stated I have a deep resume so remembering the exact months I worked is not possible and I do not want to mislead anyone, so I place only the year. I told the recruiter my process and welcomed them to add months if needed and they seemed really taken back and upset by the concept and they quickly hung up. A few days go by and I reach out for the next steps we discussed. I get a reply blowing me off, while also blaming their client. I don't buy that. After the immature knee-jerk reaction, the weird dismissal seems to be some ego-fed retaliation for not jumping through stupid archaic hoops to cater to the recruiter's every whim. Very immature, I could not recommend Springbok IT for my hiring practices. Ego and Immaturity seem to be their calling card in recruiting.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Springbok IT in Jul 2022
Interview
Everyone I talked to was extremely friendly and I made it to the fourth interview, but only after I had to send them a reminder email for the final interview (emailed a thank you email Thursday after a Wednesday interview, didn’t hear back until Monday to schedule fourth interview). I then had to send another reminder email after the fourth interview the next Wednesday and they finally got back to me Tuesday midday. The feedback they gave me was constructive, but the company didn’t leave me with a good impression of how it’s run based off of their lack of communication. Their interview process could be much better considering this.
