Application > HR phone interview > In-person interview (pre-pandemic) > Ghosted The interviewer led me to believe I was being hired, "I know what I want to do, I just need to get approval from my manager," but that was the last I heard from them. I followed-up three times, and never received ANY response. Ghosting an interviewee is the most unprofessional thing a company can do in the hiring process. A one sentence curt response of "The position has been filled," would have been better than zero response. I took the time to prepare and come to their office. The least they could do is finalize the process with a response.
