WAS GHOSTED AFTER THE INTERVIEW. LOCATION: NYC Received an interview invitation from a manager for an ice cream scooper role in NYC, on the day of the interview said manager wasn't even present. I was told to wait outside in the NYC heat, and then maybe 15 minutes later, I would be speaking to a random manager adjacent employee who expressed to me that she had never done an interview before conducting said "interview". After the interview, I sent the manager a text letting him know that I am still interested in the position and what the next steps would be. A little over a week goes by and my message was never responded to or even acknowledged. What a true lack of professionalism. If someone applies for a job and doesn't hear back, fine. But to go to an interview to meet with someone who doesn't even show up, then ends up ghosting the candidate without ever meeting them is truly pathetic. I wouldn't want to work for someone who treats candidates in such a horrible way, I can only imagine how the actual employees are being treated.

It was over text with a recruiter and the ability to not begin the next day was the reason I was declined. Probably short staffed and needed people quickly but alas
