Great process and okay place to work. A change of management is needed though. Worked for over 5 years and finance support may not be the best. Lon recruitment process but eventually they get back.

Pretty straight to the point so much so that but the whole process felt very automated and I couldn't get a feel for the company culture. They shared a brochure first and otherwise gave a lot of info about the company.

Senior Resource Manager

Last Thursday and Friday I interviewed with 2 hiring managers for 2 different companies. Both of them said they’d like me to progress to the next interview and the recruiter would reach out. One company said they wanted a offer out this month so it would be a quick process. I sent thank you emails and references. I haven’t heard from either recruiter. I had the recruiter screening and hiring manager interview just days apart, I thought I’d hear back by now. Thoughts?!
