The main reason I'm creating this review is that I saw something unusual and inappropriate on the agency's "Careers" page. After you click on an open position, you are taken to their Bamboo HR page for more information about the role. On this page, it says "...want to expand our young and dynamic team..." I was stunned that they used the word "young." There are strict laws about any reference to age as well as actual age discrimination laws. I don't understand how something like this was thought to be OK, must the less posted via their website. My interviews and interactions with the agency staff were professional and there wasn't any feeling of age bias. However, the word "young" should not be used in this respect. I hope that the agency staff will read this comment and strongly consider deleting that word. Moins

Thank you for your insight regarding the use of the word 'young'. You made a valid point and it has been removed from our job descriptions (the current postings may not reflect the changes, but future postings will not include the word young). Thank you for sharing that you did not experience any discrimination throughout the recruitment process. And thank you for helping us remain complaint while we continue to look for the right talent to join our team. Your feedback is appreciated! Moins
So this gap in your history was for personal reasons- what were you doing then?

Traveling and doing volunteer work.
Questions related to experience performing various job functions, and small talk about the industry. The interview was conversational and more of a discussion rather than a question/answer-style interview

i have experienced this "ghosting" at least 5 times over the last year and find it disgusting! Seems like that is the new trend from these younger recruiters and I agree with you, it is unacceptable and these recruiters are not representing their company well in my opinion. More unacceptable when you've had an in person interview! Moins
Please give us an example of when you made a mistake and how you dealt with it.

My example was a laboratory experimental mistake, which involved multiple complex steps of which I once missed one resulting in the failure of the experiment. I prevent repetition of this mistake by developing a spreadsheet of the experimental process which I printed and ticked off as I performed them to avoid missing a step. Moins
