I was contacted by email by a Recruiter and scheduled for a phone interview. I prepared for the interview and even canceled other meetings I had to be available and ready to talk with the Recruiter. On the day of the interview I was ghosted by the Recruiter. I emailed the Recruiter once 30 minutes passed with no response. The next day I received an email from the Recruiter alleging they were sick and we could reschedule. I sent an email to the Recruiter informing him my availability with no response on that day. Today I get an email from the Recruiter saying the Hiring Manager conducted interviews and is going forward with an offer to another candidate. This company wasted my time and blatantly lied about the process. I definitely dodged a bullet not being selected.
