I completed a phone screen and the interview with the hiring manager. I was supposed to be scheduled for a final panel interview and I stopped hearing from the talent recruiter. I found the process to be very tedious. I found myself following up with the recruiter to advance the process which was very frustrating. It helped to get the interview with the hiring manager scheduled and completed. But ultimately, I was ghosted by the recruiter and gave up trying. If the company decided to go another way, that's fine. However, it is disrespectful to ghost applicants without following up with them to tell them they aren't being considered further.
