I wanted to ask your advice, is this normal practice or am I missing something? A couple of days ago I had an interview for a sales manager position. When we said goodbye, the HR manager told me they would get in touch with me.

Today they called and asked why I didn’t show up to work, because they had sent me a text message yesterday evening. I didn’t see it, of course. Now I’m wondering whether I should even consider working for a company that handles things this way.

What do you think? Thanks.

    Hello, I work as an HR recruiter and the situation the company that you’ve dealt with has unacceptable hiring practices. If there was no offer issued... via email, Docusign, employee portal or in person then this sounds extremely shady. Any company, whether it’s small, midsized or major will confirm your start date/compensation/work location and dress code if applicable. Also, onboarding would take place either online or in person which would include you signing I9 form and taking a photo for your employee badge. Last, company would require for you to complete background checks and drug testing.

    Did you look up this company’s hiring process on employment websites such as LinkedIn or indeed? Gage what other employees had to go through.      more

    As I see it, you passed as worker, but they did not pass as employer 😉

    I think the i deal way is to go and join them ,as a leader you already have the loophole in that company to make change as time goes by .

    Go and start work. Then help the company start a better communication system. SMS is a valid communication as long as it is orinated from a senior... company employee such as HR Manager. more
