My company is actively restructuring and doing layoffs. My teammate told me about another company that is hiring for a similar position. I applied on Monday, and heard back from the recruiter the following day. She scheduled a phone interview for Thursday. Another teammate also applied for the same position and had a phone interview with the same recruiter for the same day.
Thursday morning came, and I had a family emergency, but it didn't matter because the recruiter never called. I emailed her that day to follow up, but she never responded. On the other hand, my teammate was able to do his phone interview with her on Thursday, had an official interview on Friday with the hiring manager, and then got an email from her this morning saying she might have good news for him later today.
I'm fine with them not picking me, but why schedule an interview and then just not call and not respond? It's incredibly rude and unprofessional. For now, I still have my current position, but I can't even imagine how demoralizing this would feel if I were unemployed. And it leaves me wondering what could have happened in 2 days to make you completely ghost me, but still be able to correspond with my other teammate who applied for the same role? Anyway, good luck to them.
