Was a really great experience, until it wasn't. Applied and interviewed for a "Director, Customer Support Training" role. First interview was a standard interview conducted by the recruiter, which went well. I was advised of the rest of the process, into which I quickly progressed. The 2nd interviews were virtual, over the course of SEVERAL hours in a row, with 5 different Director+ members of the team. Until that time, the experience was still very good, with constant contact with the recruiter, as well as a 'Candidate Experience Specialist'; I assume the experience was good and they were VERY responsive, only because I was still a viable candidate at that time. Then...suddenly nothing. My standard post-interview thank you went without response, the 2nd follow-up a week later to congratulate the team on their IPO also went ignored. Only after 10 days did I get a response: "We had a lot of moving parts with [Hiring Manager]'s org this past week, and she needed to up-level this role to Senior Director based on the scope of where this team is going." It went on to say I would be a great fit at Director—but indirectly implied NOT at Senior Director. That response was disappointing, but I understood. The email went on to offer "a quick call to discuss feedback or ask questions". Having bookmarked the original post, I did check it and the title had—in fact—been "up-leveled", but everything else was identical. I did respond, declining the call (but wish I hadn't), but asked for any feedback as to how I might become a fit for Senior, if I was already a fit as Director. That was the last contact... ghosts after that. Guess there's no point in communicating if a candidate--is no longer.
