| - The initial phone screen with the Recruitment Manager went great! I discussed my qualifications for the Internal Recruiter opportunity, salary requirements and extensive experience in Recruiting. We seemed to agree on Recruiting philosophies and Recruitment styles. An interview was scheduled to interview at their Biltmore location late in the evening to accommodate both of our schedules. Upon arrival, the receptionist seemed relatively astonished when I walked into the office. She looked to be in her early 20's, long blonde hair, blue eyes. I took the reign and politely extended an introduction "Hello, I am here to meet with...." The receptionist scrambled to get a word document with basic information to complete..I, in turn, handed her my resume. She scanned the resume and looked at me awkwardly..I smiled, took my seat and completed the document.
Fast forward, I was escorted to a room to interview. Twenty minutes later, the Recruitment Manager opens the door and gazes at me gracelessly, hesitantly extends her hand, introduces herself and apologizes for arriving late due to "a meeting". We discussed my background, I shared my passion for Business Development, Talent Acquisition and Employee Engagement. The Recruitment Manager seemed very uncomfortable.
Eventually, she brought in the Senior VP- A short, round man who seemed to have short man's complex who asked the same repetitive questions and advised, "I'll take your resume and give it to my Recruiters to help you find a position-I'll email you"..Long and short, I haven't heard from either.
What amazes me is the company's declaration that they are dedicated to diversity; however, my entrance into this location proved otherwise. Ironically enough, some of my culturally diverse, degree'd, experienced professional colleagues experienced the same treatment.
