Much easier to reject bad CVs. On the other hand every job post is the same and you have to check Glassdoor and Crunchbase before applying to a potential bad company

I just recently got to the third interview for a software engineering job. 5 minutes in, they asked about my requirements for compensation and I gave a conservative range for a senior engineer role. They said “thanks for your time” and ended the interview. I spent 4 hours total on this to be told my comp request was too high. So fucking sick of this bullshit
Leave them a review on Glassdoor. Call out their recruiting team.
Their recruiter sucks, because that should be one of the first discussions you have after initial qualifications.
I am genuinely curious how often this is policy vs just recruiters being bad at their jobs. Maybe they’re incentivized to generate leads/candidates instead of actual hires? That kind of makes sense if senior leadership is dumb enough.
The thing is that we discussed it in the initial call. They seemed fine with it. I’m guessing they got some sucker to take a lower rate
What a bizarre interview process man. Sorry you even had to be part of that. That’s so dumb.
Pay should be discussed before the first interviews starts.
The third interview may not have been the final one, believe it or not.
Then these people acted in bad faith. When hiring someone, even if you have decided that this person isn’t going to be the one, based just on salary or whater thing, you should still go through the process like normal and send off a rejection letter after. Cutting things short like that was just rude and unprofessional. You dodged a huge bullet here, honestly, because you’d never want to work for people who would treat you like that.
Going through the process despite knowing you’re going to reject an applicant is textbook “bad faith”.
