I was selected for an initial phone screening which seemed fairly straightforward, the interviewer seemed friendly enough and I was selected to move on to the next round of interviews. I was then contacted by a second recruiter who asked me to provide times and dates I would be available for the second interview for the following week. I promptly responded, listing a number of dates and times I would be available. Two days passed and I had received no response, so I sent a follow-up email to confirm. After another day had passed without response, I reached out to the initial recruiter to try and solidify a time slot. Another day and a half goes by and finally I receive a response stating I was removed from consideration from the role because the second recruiter told the first recruiter I never responded to the email. I politely responded stating that I had in fact responded now three times and provided time stamped screen shots of my repeated attempts to reach out, after which I was completely ghosted. A simple "we have decided to move forward with other candidates" would suffice rather than having been lead on a wild goose chase for over a week with no explanation or follow up.
