Met with recruiter for the initial conversation then moved onto discussion with hiring manager and then presentation to hiring manager and other stakeholders, I believe there was 1 final interview after with VP of Marketing.
After spending significant time preparing a detailed project presentation, I was told that initial feedback was very positive. However, I never heard back from the recruiter despite follow-ups. It was disappointing to invest so much effort and receive no closure or communication afterward.

Question 1
What's one thing you would change about our website.
I was contacted by a recruiter via LinkedIn. I wasn't actively looking for a change. There was a total of 3 phases for the entire hiring process, one with recruiter, one with hiring manager and another video call with hiring manager. Asked about experience, responsibilities and scenarios.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Zilliant in Mar 2025
Interview
Recruiter screening interview followed by hiring manager interview within a week. HM interview went great and he said he wanted to schedule a follow up with him and a meeting with sales leadership when he returned to office. Was ghosted by recruiter and HM with no response to follow up emails. Finally received the automated email "we decided to move forward with another candidate" about 6 -8 weeks later. Honesty up front would have been much better but apparently that's not the way they operate there.
