Frankfinn made me do a 4-day assignment, then disqualified me for reapplying.
I need to vent about something that genuinely doesn't make sense to me.
January 2026: I applied for a role at Frankfinn. Did Round 1. They said I wasn't a fit. Interview closed. Fair enough, that's their call.
15 days ago: A similar role opens up. I apply again.
- Round 1: cleared
- Round 2: they gave me an assignment. I spent 4 full days on it. Cleared that too.
- Just before Round 3: they tell me they can't proceed further because I had applied previously, and "company policy" doesn't allow it.
I am sitting here trying to understand the logic.
If you found me fit this time and I was performing well through every round, don't you want someone who is actually good for your team? Or do you want to follow a policy that's literally costing you a qualified candidate?
And what about the 4 days I poured into that assignment? Does that hold no value? Why even let me through Round 1 and 2 and accept my assignment if you were going to disqualify me on a policy you could have checked on day one?
The part that genuinely bothers me: what if I was a fit the first time too, and their Round 1 rejection back in January was just a misjudgment? That one bad call has now cost me a role I clearly qualified for.
If any company is reading this, please at least screen for these policies BEFORE candidates invest days of unpaid work. That's the bare minimum of respect.
