Ghosted. I completed an initial screening with the recruiter, followed by a technical interview. I took time out of my schedule and made the effort to prepare for and attend both interviews. I was told the next step would be another interview with the client. After that, I was ghosted, with no updates or follow-up communication. Being ghosted during a hiring process leaves candidates without clarity or closure and creates a negative impression of the company’s communication standards. The company should improve communication throughout the hiring process, even when there are delays or decisions are still pending. Providing timely updates or a clear closure would create a more professional experience and help maintain a positive impression among candidates.
