I applied for the sourcing role and not even 24 hours I got a rejection email. But not your typical one, they used the wrong template. It stated that she had a great conversation with me and liked my background when I don’t even know who she is.
If you are going to use templates, make sure you are using the right ones.
Also the qualifications are so bland and I know I’m over qualified for it so thank god I dodged that bullet. These reviews explain it all.

J'ai passé un entretien chez Forward
Entretien
Had a HR screen with one of their recruiters. Recruiter seemed extremely overwhelmed and told me that they would get back to me in a few days about next steps. I never heard from them after. I thought this was just a one time incident.
However, the company seems to have a track record of ghosting candidates especially since was reached out to by the company for the second time and I was ghosted once again by a different Recruiter from Forward. The least a candidate deserves is to know the status of their candidacy especially if they were sourced by someone from the company. Please be respectful of the candidate experience you are providing.
J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Forward (San Francisco, CA)
Entretien
1) Recruiter Screen
2) Onsite #1
3) Onsite #2
4) Meet the CEO
After the recruiter screen, we moved to a onsite/google hangout. Each interviewer was incredibly late and did not really ask much. I was invited to the next stage of the onsite that included a tour/demo, 3 1:1's, and a presentation. I felt the team was very inexperienced and they were looking to me to gain strategies into sourcing. My panel consisted of an RC and recruiters with maybe 1 year of experience. According to their LinkedIn's none had prior sourcing experience. After all the 1:1's I did my presentation. I was slated to present to 4-5 people and only 2 people were on time. The final 3 showed up with about 5 minutes left in my presentation. I felt my time was wasted by putting the presentation together. The next step would be to meet w/ the CEO. I was very putoff by the 2nd onsite and withdrew from the process.
I do believe in the mission but the staffing team is incredibly inexperienced.
Questions d'entretien [2]
Question 1
You're opening a restaurant and have 30 days to do it. What's your business plan? (I get that this is a GCA question but the entire 30-45 minute interview consisted of this. I did not think this was relevant and I did not get to talk about sourcing strategies or sourcing strings)
