I applied as an employee referral and was contacted right away. I had a phone screen with the recruiter and hiring manager, both of which seemed to go very well. I was told that I would hear back from the recruiter at the end of the call with the HM. The day after my call with the HM, I checked the company website and saw that the position was no longer available. I waited another day to give them a chance to follow up with me to let me know that they were not moving forward, but they did not. I checked in with the recruiter and was told that the team had decided to go in a different direction. Based on her response, it was clear that they never intended to follow up with me and let me know their decision, even though I was an employee referral and had two phone calls. In my opinion, this is very poor communication and a sub-par recruiting experience.
