United StatesPosted Dec 2018 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a relatively standard flow: a phone interview with the recruiter, then a Skype interview with the hiring manager.

The recruiter portion went fine, but I didn’t get a friendly feeling from the hiring manager, and I assumed it wouldn’t go anywhere.

After the interview, the manager contacted a professional acquaintance I shared to ask whether I was putting my current job in jeopardy by looking elsewhere. I was honestly shocked, especially since I’d explicitly said the manager shouldn’t reach out to that person. HR later tried to frame it as a misunderstanding, but I didn’t see it that way, and it felt unethical and unprofessional.

Because of that, I removed myself from consideration and no offer was made.
