During the recruiter call, the recruiter stated that next steps would be a hiring manager interview, stakeholder interviews, peer interviews. The recruiter told me that the hiring manager had already reviewed my resume and was very interested in me as a candidate. I gave relevant examples to all of the recruiter screen questions and received positive feedback on the spot. The recruiter said she would get back to me to schedule the hiring manager interview within 24 hours. When I checked in a week later, the recruiter said that the hiring manager was only interested in speaking with me after she had interviewed other candidates. I did not hear back from the recruiter after that. It would have been very easy for the recruiter to reject me when I checked in for an update, but the recruiter chose to keep me hanging. I'm writing this review a month after the last communication from the recruiter. The recruiter has still not closed the loop.
