I applied to the position in October 2016. Almost a month later I was contacted by their recruiter who wanted to set up some time to speak. The recruiter seemed to be checking questions off a list ... but still the conversation seemed to go well. I was informed of next steps and told to look out for an invitation to interview with the President of the company.
A month went by and since I never got that invitation, I decided to send a follow up note to inquire about my candidacy. Its 2017 now and I still haven't heard back even though the role continues to show up in my job search agent.
Have the decency to reply back to candidates and inform them of their application status.
