I received a call a couple of months ago, and the recruiter was very pleasant. They asked about my background and provided me with information about the company. I was told I would be contacted again since I was a great fit for the next step interviews. However, I never heard back. A week later, I noticed the role was no longer available.
Fast forward a few months—today I see the same role posted again (likely because the previous hire is no longer with the company). I applied, but after a few weeks of waiting, I received a rejection email.
