The phone screen with the recruiter was great. He asked about what I was looking for in a new role and discussed how there are other roles I would be a fit for if I didn't move forward for the role I applied to after meeting the Hiring Manager. The Hiring Manager interview was supposed to be scheduled but there were conflicts being the holidays were around. The Recruiter stated he would get back to me. He had gotten back to me to let me know he will update me a week later. After a week and a half went by I decided to reach out but did not get an answer. I then reached out the week after that and the same. If I was not a fit for the role communicating it would have helped. Going dark on an applicant just isn't right especially when you're told you are a fit for other roles as well.
