Three rounds of interviews spanning several weeks, including time with leadership. Each round required significant preparation and time investment. After the final round, complete silence — no rejection, no update, not even an automated response. I proactively reached out for an update and received no reply from the recruiter or anyone on the team. For a company selling technology solutions to an industry built on relationship and trust, the failure to send a single follow-up email is a meaningful signal about organizational values. Ghosting candidates after multiple rounds is not an oversight — it is a choice. Candidates deserve basic respect regardless of the hiring decision.
