Last month I interviewed with NoBroker for a Demand Servicing Head position. The process went like this:
2 rounds of screening with HR/TA - was okay, good conversations. After which they scheduled an interview with the Business Head for the particular team. This interview went well too.
After this they sent me an assignment - the longest assignment I've ever worked on as a part of the recruitment process. It asked me to write multiple detailed SOPs for the sales team, build a demand forecast model, and a complete demand generation plan for an oddly specific scenario. They gave me 5 days for it.
I worked my a** off, desperate to get the job as I've been unemployed for some time. I did the assignment close to perfection - spoke to so many industry folks in real estate and made realistic assumptions, covering all possibilities.
All in all I've not been so confident about my work ever like I was in this case. I submit and they acknowledge.
Few days go by, I follow up, only to be given generic delay reasons by HR. Eventually, after more than a week they rejected me. When I requested for feedback on the assignment they completely ghosted me.
I don't know why I'm sharing this here, but it's been hard. I've been jobless for > 5 months and every such experience completely shatters my already low self esteem further.
White collar jobs really need to unionise. All of us have been taken advantaged of by companies and there are no laws or correct implementation by the government. We’re all at the will of these orgs!! What a time to be living in, where crores are spent on religion but no discussion on the actual problems being faced by the hard working people of this country!!
They made you work for free taking advantage of the situation.
Indian startups are turning out to be the most toxic workplaces with zero sense of ethics.
