A recruiter from Google contacted me via LinkedIn and we scheduled a chat the following week. The phone screen went well, so after chatting with the team, the recruiter reached back out later that afternoon to schedule video chats with a couple members from the team. I responded back that day, but nothing was scheduled for another week. When they did finalize the interview, they scheduled it for three weeks out. A week into that waiting process, the recruiter called me to let me know that they had decided to go with another candidate and that it was "just bad timing." Normally I would be fine with this response except that they were the ones who reached out to me and were also the ones who scheduled the interview process at a glacial pace.
