Phone screen with recruiter, a week later there’s a virtual interview with a recruiting manager. The screening was dry and the recruiter for the phone screen has no personality and was dull.

Phone call scheduled view through an automated process. First interview scheduled, I never received a call. I followed up via email, but did not have the Recruiters direct contact. I did not receive a follow-up email for a week. At which I received a direct email from the recruiter letting me know the call did not go through...the week prior! Asked if I was interested to reschedule, I said yes. That call went took place. The recruiter rushed through the entire process. Did not provide any insight to what the role consisted of. I asked at the end of the discussion how she felt I was a fit for the role. She said I was a strong candidate for many reasons and outlined those reasons. Mentioned my information would be passed along to the hiring team, Recruitment Strategy Mgr with her recommendation. I received a rejection automated email that Saturday. Extremely disappointed. After the lack of follow-up from e original interview never taking place, waiting a week to hear from anyone, then having been told I was a strong candidate and how my experience is what they are looking for, to receiving a computer rejected email on a weekend day. In the end, I guess I dodged a bullet as they say.

I completed the initial screening call with the recruiter and was told to expect an invitation to move on in the interview process. I never heard and even tried reaching out directly to the recruiter several times. Eventually I received a rejection email. Honestly, ghosting is so unprofessional. I feel as though I likely dodged a bullet.
