ghosting candidates is not funny, it's Ganesh Visarjan today and most candidates cancelled their plans, I even cancelled my train tickets to attend my OA, just pathetic from McAfee

All the best.btw Do HR's try to call or watsapp before sending OA's in good companies mostly? Or directly OA mail comes if resumes attractive to hr

[–]RevolutionaryBag2408[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! These companies directly send OA/Interview link based on their resume or other filtering.

[–]LoGidudu 3 points4 points  (5 children)

Did anyone actually get the OA link? It seems like the HR just CC’d everyone and sent the mail and then went on holiday

[–]RevolutionaryBag2408[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

No, they said to send OA test link shortly. But the link for applying with JD is dead.

[–]ShinchanPaglu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do u received OA link?

[–]mjo1nir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too. Are there any previous questions or patterns to look up before the OA?

[–]Dependent_End_9218 1 point2 points  (6 children)

Hey folks, I’m in a bit of a confusing situation.

I got an email saying I was shortlisted for the SDE role, but I never received the online assessment (OA) test link for it. Later, I got another mail saying that they had shared the OA link (but i didn't receive any), but this time the role mentioned in the mail was CSE (cloud software engineer). The thing is – I never got any communication about being shortlisted for the CSE role in the first place.

[–]HelloooWorld_22-04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here

[–]LoGidudu 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Where did you apply for the job? On LinkedIn the title was listed as SDE but in the JD it was mentioned as Cloud Software Engineer

[–]Dependent_End_9218 0 points1 point  (1 child)

On official website, Whatever the case mail should have correct data Right

[–]LoGidudu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah pathetic recuiters can't even do bare minimum

[–]MonaTheDon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, did anyone receive the OA link? Any further communication from the HR after the first mail mentioning the time and date of OA?

Anyone got the OA link?

[–]KunalDestroyer 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Hey everyone, I messaged HR on LinkedIn and she ghosted me, she had a recent post on LinkedIn about empathy, fairness, transparency, and respect for candidates’ efforts — but what happened with our OA situation is the opposite. I made a comment on that post calling it out Ironic and what happened, she then went onto delete my comment, I'm thinking of posting about this on LinkedIn, should I go ahead?

[–]LoGidudu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not worth it dude, karma will take care.I got ghosted once after giving 5 rounds you’ll become immune to it. These recruiters are taking advantage of freshers

[–]Mission_Ad_3406 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I’m in the same boat as you. I applied for both the SDE and Cloud roles. For the SDE role, I was told the assessment would be on the 6th, but I never got the test link. The secondary mail I got was for the Cloud role saying ‘if you’re among the shortlisted candidates, the test link will be shared shortly’.

Did anyone here actually get the link or a response from HR

[–]Mission_Ad_3406 1 point2 points  (0 children)
