I have been in SaaS sales for 5+ years and ZoomInfo's interview process was literally the most disconnected and frustrating candidate experience that I have ever been through. I was contacted by a recruiter through LinkedIn in January, 2021. On our first call, he set expectations for the interview process, gave me some fairly confusing details about the role, segment, etc. and highly stressed an urgent interview timeline to get me in the next onboarding class. From there, he goes dark for 10 days and then calls me out of the blue after a few follow up attempts on my end. Everyone is busy and I completely understand that, but by then he'd mixed up the role I was interviewing for, my location, previous work experience, and then set me up to speak with a hiring manager that appeared to be overseeing a completely different segment. The hiring manager interview went fine although he seemed fairly distracted & disengaged. I closed him on next steps, he said that I would be continuing into the next round, and the recruiter stressed that he would reach out by the end of the day with feedback & next steps. Several days go by and I hadn't received any feedback or updates, so I follow up with the recruiter and a few days after that I receive an email from him with the entirety of "Hey - I am just working on availability". 16 business days later - I haven't heard a word back from anyone. Even tried reaching back out to the hiring manager since I was really interested in the role but was in the later interview stages with several other top SaaS companies. This entire process couldn't have been worse.

1st round screener with the recruiter, 2nd round conversation with the hiring manager, 3rd round final mock presentation. Asked for feedback and didn't get any, instead, I received a generic rejection email with no explanation. I tried following up with the recruiter after but they didn't answer me.
