The actual interview was OK, but they completely disappeared after. Obviously, it didn't go well, but there was no note, no formal closure of the process - nothing. Given that I still invested time in the application, met with an HR specialist and then with a hiring manager, the total absence of the follow-up felt odd.

I approached the hiring manager on LinkedIn to see if they’d consider transferable skills, they said yes ☺️ I made a portfolio, had a screening call with the recruiter, then spoke with the hiring manager. I passed those and worked on a case study. That went well so I got through to a final round of 1:1s. Overall the handling & communication was really smooth - recruitment seems like a well oiled machine. The people I spoke to were all very transparent, passionate about their work and generous with their time, too.
