I was contacted over email by a recruiter to come in for an interview for a counsel position that I applied to. The recruiter and I corresponded over email a number of times and I interviewed with the hiring manager (within legal) a couple weeks later. After the interview, I never received a response from the recruiter or the hiring manager, even though I followed up via email multiple times. I continued to apply for similar positions, as they became available, and the recruiter never responded. I think it is very discourteous and unprofessional that not respond to candidate inquiries or send follow up correspondence to unsuccessful applicants. I will NOT be applying to Viacom again.

The interview consisted of a 30 minute phone screen interview that took place in the afternoon. The phone interview was very clearly geared towards finding a candidate that very specifically met the requirements as identified and defined in the job description. I felt that the process was fair, but then again, the interviewer could have been more receptive to hearing about applicability of expereince that was not 100% aligned with the role on paper, but in practice would have been.
