I had an informational review with the Manager in March and was invited for an interview loop. All my discussion with the manager were very positive and the manager gave false hope during the end of the interview with a strong interest of hiring and that I am the strongest candidate. I receive a note from the recruiter after waiting for 1 week that hiring manager decided to move forward with the vendor they had in the team. Why wasting candidates time seriously ! Respect candidates and improve your recruiting process.
