Gem Sales Operations interview questions

The role was posted and I applied. I received an email from HR and scheduled a time for an interview. I later received an email stating the role was then put on hold. Two weeks later I was told the role was then reopened and we proceeded with scheduling an interview. I interviewed with HR, and then made it to the second round and interviewed with the hiring manager. The interview with the hiring manager went really well. I was told I should receive a call/email from HR later that day and would be receiving a take home assignment to assess my reporting skills. I never heard from HR that day, so I sent a follow up email. It wasn't until mid week the following week, HR replied to me saying although my call with the hiring manager went well, they will be proceeding with other candidates. A week after receiving that email from HR, I noticed the role was reposted as a "new" on LinkedIn. So I am not sure what went wrong in the process, but it was a disappointment the way it was communicated to me.
