Misleading and Disheartening Experience - Pre-Board Screening Officer GardaWorld Employee Review

Honestly, the entirety of this experience was terrible. I applied for the Pre-Board Screening Officer position in May, 2024. I was called in for an interview then orientation pretty soon after. After I went for the the orientation (this was unpaid btw), I was told that I need to apply for a security pass for the airport. Once I started the process I was told that I need a police clearance from another country as I had lived abroad for more than 6 months in the previous year. Of course this was a lengthy process and I was assured by the hiring team that once I get my pass I will be able to start working. The process of getting all this done took over a month and about $300. All of this work and waiting was of course unpaid and not compensated by the company. Regardless, I went along and completed the requirements and received my temporary pass. After 2 MONTHS of this process, when I reached out the HR team to inform them of this, I'm told I'm being put on a priority list (waitlist)... It was incredibly disheartening to hear this because I had invested so much time, effort and money out of my own pocket to meet their requirements. It has been OVER A YEAR NOW, I was never called in to start the position i was "hired" for. Throughout the year I consistently contacted the HR team, I was mostly speaking with Melissa Sanchez and Ajitha Yogendran and was reassured in each email that I will be contacted once start dates had been specified. After several more months of waiting for a response, I reached out several times again for an update but was sadly ghosted entirely. It's been over a year now and I have not been contacted since August of last year.
