This works well in the company

On 12 June I had applied online to Canon with all my documents. On the same day I received an automatically generated acknowledgement of receipt without information from the responsible person from Canon. Today is August 12th (two months later) and I'm still waiting for some rejection, acceptance, interview or other. I would have expected much more professionalism for a group of this size. Very disappointing.

This could be improved

In all areas be treated as applications and applicants.

This works well in the company

After two weeks, I asked for feedback. The HR was not reachable by telephone and by mail I received after my inquiry, immediately a standard refusal. When I asked for feedback regarding the cancellation, I received no reply. It is important to Canon that you do not maintain personal contact during the application phase. This can already be seen on the application platform, as there are no telephone contacts there. You are also not referred to the HR via the main number. Canon talks about people in focus. Well, I'm not sure Canon understands its own message.

Dear Applicant Thank you very much for your honest feedback. We very much regret that you had to make this negative experience in our recruitment process. Due to the sometimes very high number of applications, it is unfortunately not possible for us to give individual feedback to each candidate. However, we do our best to respond as quickly as possible to the applications received. Friendly greetings HR team Canon

First came an invitation for an interview, but this was cancelled at short notice and then came the answer "we have already found a suitable candidate and filled the position". Very dishonest and disappointing.

Thank you very much for your feedback. We regret your disappointment very much. It can indeed happen that a position is filled quickly if a candidate fits very well. In such cases we try to inform the other applicants as soon as possible.
