Standard process for the most part, Hiring Manager reached out via email after I submitted application material and had set up an interview for the next day. Smooth interview, felt very confident. Left with the impression that I was waiting for a email to confirm the 2nd interview which would include a on-site visit. 3 weeks later, I followed up with the Hiring Manager curious as to where they were in the process only to be told they selected someone the day before for the role. I assumed they believed it would be kind gesture to let me know that I was "runner up" and in the event something were to happen they would connect. Mismanagement of talent was the deal breaker, a company simply shouldn't leave talented individuals in the clouds about where they stand in the process is flat out inconsiderate of others time -- if any positions were to become available in the near future I would respectfully decline. And I have a sneaky suspicious had I not taken the initiative and followed up myself, I may have not heard anything back from them.
