"Unprofessional hiring process – cleared all rounds, then role put on hold" Pros Interviewers were skilled and asked relevant questions. Process was well-structured in terms of rounds. Cons Within a week of informing me that the position was on hold, I saw the same role open again on LinkedIn. I noticed multiple recent reviews mentioning similar experiences, which shows this is not an isolated issue. After clearing four rounds (including VP, coding, and technical), I was informed that the position is on hold. No prior indication that the role might not be active. Wasted significant time and effort without any clarity on next steps. Poor communication regarding timelines and hiring decisions. Advice to Management If a position is uncertain or on hold, communicate this upfront before making candidates go through multiple rounds. Also, avoid misleading candidates by reopening the same role immediately after putting them on hold—this impacts the company’s credibility and candidate experience.
