Long and drawn out process that began with very promising interviews and tons of great feedback from the recruiter. For some reason, the job was put on hold for a month after a week of back-and-forth communication.
One month later, the job reappeared online, so I reapplied and contacted the recruiter. She insisted I was still a great fit, but the role had changed a bit. After she reviewed the new wrinkle in the role, I felt it actually fit me even better and opted to proceed. I went through another interview process with the recruiter, though she had already interviewed me once.
She again ensured me I was a top candidate, but I heard nothing after a week. I emailed her to let her know I was still interested, but other companies were recruiting me heavily. She advised me the company began second interviews with the first wave of applicants but there would be a second wave, and she believed I would be in that second wave.
That was three weeks ago, and there has been nothing but radio silence. I understand there may have been a change in feeling about me, but a professional recruiting company should never ghost a candidate like that. I will avoid every posting this company puts out.
