The beginning of the process started with me submitting a simple application through LinkedIn EasyApply. After that I received an email from a recruiter wondering if I would be comfortable with a phone conversation (informal interview). This conversation went really well although I got the vibe that they were only interested in the fact I would be a cheap candidate. I was very excited as we set up a more formalized Skype interview the next day. This conversation again, went extremely well. It made me very excited to move forward with them in the process. They mentioned that they would be in touch to see when the position's supervisor would be free to interview. I felt like this was a sure guarantee for an interview and I was disappointed when it slowly signaled to not be the case. The recruiter knew that I was interviewing else where so when I sent a thank you and follow up email though, he said he would encourage me to accept "other opportunities" if they present when truth be told I was not 100% on those other opportunities but sold on their company. I was willing to wait for the right company, but that quickly was not the case. A week and a half, nearly 2 weeks later, I sent another follow up to see if I was not in consideration anymore. A week went by and still no response. I was in millennial terms "ghosted" on this job opportunity and it felt disrespectful. When you choose to lead a candidate on in the process, then fail to respond to questions when they are invited, it gives the company a bad reputation. Maybe your recruiters should go back and get their PHR or MSHRM/MBAs to understand what HR communications should look like. I should have picked up on the signs sooner when I realized he was giving me a list of other companies to consider in the second interview.
