Bodycote interview questions

I applied some time in October and about a week later was contacted for a phone screening which went well. A week later I was contacted by a recruiter to do a in person interview which went well also. It was panel interview and there was 4-5 people interviewing me. After the interview it was radio silence. I was constantly following up until I got a response from a different recruiter saying the position was on hold. I found that odd that a position got put on hold while they were actively interviewing and the position was still posted on their website. Then the week before Christmas I get a text from the recruiter stating the recruiting process resumed and if I was still interested. They then asked me to do a walk at the facility but to not tell anyone why I was there as they didn’t disclose the hiring process to the rest of the time. This raised a red flag but I did the walk anyways. This was not an interview but just to tour the facility. During the walk the manager stated that they wanted to reach out but was told I had advised Bodycote I had accepted another position which is false. I am just now getting a rejection after this secretive “interview”. The whole experience was unfortunate. This didn’t seem professional or organized. And to be strung along for months and told fibs is very alarming

The hiring manager completely ghosted me on a virtual interview for a professional HR position. Shame on this company. I even emailed the hiring manager afterwards with no response. Stay away from this toxic place!
