New ZealandPosted Jan 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

The process started fine and moved along until after I completed the homework.

Then I was told the position had been moved to another country, which was a sudden pivot after I’d already put in the work. Later, the role appeared again in my area, and I reached back out with my updated CV to try to finish the process.

I kept waiting for a response, but they never got back to me. That silence was the hardest part—everything ended without any clear closure after I tried to re-engage once the listing returned.
