I applied online via their website. After assuming I was unsuccessful I had an email asking me to complete an interview. The initial interview was pre-recorded and I had to record myself answering 6 questions.
I completed the pre-recorded interview, and was then had an interview over Teams. This seemed to go well and I was told I would have an answer the following week. Nearly a month went passed before I was asked to a second interview.
The second interview was more them asking if I was still interested in the role, and from the language used by them it sounded like they wanted me. I was asked to provide my availability for a follow up so they could give me a final decision.
I provided my availability and never heard anything since. I have sent a follow up but that didn't receive a reply either.
I expect not to get a reply in the early stages of the recruitment process, but it is completely unprofessional to ghost someone so far into the recruitment process and shows a complete disregard for the candidate.
If the process is taking longer than anticipated send a holding email, if the candidate is unsuccessful, at least let them know.
