Had a great first 2 interviews, and was already invited to speak with the team during my 2nd call.
Then I never heard a word from the recruiter -- I followed up twice, both times receiving a generic answer "I have sent a message out to the hiring manager about next steps."
The recruiter promised to get back to me and keep me updated, but I never heard back again. I never got a rejection email, I was just ghosted.
Very unfortunate, as I had some nice chats and was very excited about this opportunity, but as someone who has worked in the HR industry and holds a degree in it, I can say that this was a pretty unacceptable candidate experience.
