A couple weeks after applying, I got an email from the recruiter saying that the hiring manager wanted to speak with me and he asked me for availability to set up an interview. I responded back that day and never heard back. Weeks later, I received the same email from the same recruiter asking for interview availability, as if he had never talked to me before. He also left a voicemail. Again, I responded to the email immediately. After a few days of not hearing back, I gave him a call and he said he was behind on emails, which is why he hadn’t responded. He seemed excited to talk to me and told me he was going to pass on my updated availability to two hiring managers. I never heard back, and weeks later, I got an automated rejection email from the company. It’s possible that there was more going on behind the scenes, but the hiring managers clearly wanted to talk to me and I feel robbed of an opportunity to interview for this company due to poor communication. The whole ordeal spanned about 6 weeks.
