The lack of response from the human resources department, after two hiring interviews were conducted, demonstrates a lack of professionalism, job candidate told.I was contacted by a human resources employee of a company to see whether I was interested in a marketing position there. I paid a preparation firm to help with my résumé and cover letter, took vacation days to attend two interviews, and was told I’d be notified within a week. Two weeks later, I’ve heard nothing.
Unfortunately, your experience is all too common – I refer to it as “candidate abuse.” I do not understand why organizations behave this way. They invest thousands of dollars building their brand and then do things like this. If the recruitment is still active, however, and you are still interested, try again with HR. Send another e-mail with a subject line of “Following up on our meeting on …” and insert the date.
If you do not get a response within five business days or are advised that the opportunity is closed, you have a decision to make. You can forget about the entire episode or you can send an e-mail to the chief executive officer summarizing your experience, disappointment and frustration in the way you were treated. The CEO may be completely unaware that this sort of thing is happening.
Canadian law does provide certain fundamental legal protections to job applicants, such as the right to equal treatment in the employment application process, without discrimination; the right to damages for reliance on negligent misrepresentations, such as in the case of a revoked employment offer; and material job mis-description.
The facts in this matter do not indicate that the company breached any of its legal duties to you, however. The employer engaged in poor business practices in its failure to communicate with you, but there is no legal duty for the company to advise you of its evaluation of your application following your interviews, or the results of, or the reasons for, its hiring decision.
