A recruiter reached out to schedule an interview for the following week. Then, the very next day, I received a generic email stating that I was no longer under consideration for the role. I reached out to the recruiter to confirm that I would no longer be interviewing. A week later and the recruiter still has not responded, but she did cancel our Zoom interview one hour beforehand on the day of. This was a really discouraging and unprofessional experience.

I did a video recorded interview that I took hours to prepare for. Recruiter told me they would refer me to hiring manager. Even after I sent follow-up emails I was ignored. I didn’t receive a rejection email until months later. The overall experience was unprofessional, there is no respect for candidates time. Just let candidates know the manager went with another candidate instead of ghosting them.
