initiated conversation with recruiter early Sept. Had 4 interviews and then silence. Followed up and was told I'd hear something next week and that I was still a candidate. Followed up a week later since I had not heard anything. Was told the same thing and given reason for the delay being scheduling. Followed up again the next week and was told same thing about being considered a candidate. Got a response back 2 days later informing me that the position was going to be moved from Dallas to Salt Lake City.
So after this long process, much of which was I personally followed up on, was told a month later that the manager had decided to hire in a different area.
