I had a very disappointing experience interviewing with PDS Dental, not because I wasn’t selected, but because of how poorly the process was handled afterward. The initial stages were positive. The team was friendly, I completed an in office shadow experience, met leadership, and left with the impression that there was genuine interest and momentum. I was even told that I would be recommended for the role, which made the lack of follow up especially frustrating. After investing significant time and effort, the rejection was delivered with minimal professionalism. There was no phone call, no real closure, and communication felt abrupt and impersonal for a position that requires strong interpersonal standards. Candidates deserve timely, direct communication, especially after multiple steps in the process. Unfortunately, this experience reflected a lack of respect for applicants’ time and a disappointing breakdown in basic recruiting courtesy. I hope the organization improves its hiring communication moving forward.
