Fairly straightforward - I applied on LinkedIn and received a message on LinkedIn about a week afterwards with a link to schedule my call. Cool, easy. I did so and unfortunately was ghosted as the recruiter didn’t call me. It wasn’t until a couple hours after that scheduled call that I received a message from the recruiter stating an urgent meeting unexpectedly came up. I wasn’t worried and completely understood as I know things happen so I scheduled another call per the recruiter’s request. The second time, I didn’t receive a call and 30 minutes in, I messaged the recruiter to ask whether I should reschedule. Within minutes, the recruiter confirmed they couldn’t make it due to technical issues (not sure why as it was a phone call and honestly I wish I received notice earlier). I was incredibly interested in the role though and felt I could make an impact on the team so I rescheduled again. Finally the 3rd time, we had our call. It was a standard interview with the typical questions like describe your resume, why you want this role, etc. Unfortunately at this time, I was suffering from a severe cough which honestly I felt was the deciding reason why I didn’t receive a second follow up. I had industry experience and other skills that made me a professional and cultural fit so at least 1 more interview would have made more sense. Regardless of the result, I’m sharing this in hopes that their HR team improves the recruitment process. As valuable as their time is, so is the prospective candidate’s time and unfortunately being ghosted for two scheduled calls in a row without due diligence in notifying the candidate reflects poorly on an otherwise great company.
