Was contacted by a recruiter on Hackajob. Accepted the invite and suggested some times, the recruiter then selected a time. That time rolls around, and lo and behold: no call. I then get an email 32 minutes after the end of the slot saying that there were a few meetings overrun, and to email a copy of my CV and they will give me a call back ASAP. 12 minutes later I respond with my CV and saying that I will be available to call at any point today. Queue the ghosting. On Hackajob, I suggested MORE times. One of which was selected by the recruiter, 01/09/2023 at 10:30. 10:30 rolls around: no call again. I sent a follow-up email at 10:33 asking what time to expect the call Radio silence. I then send yet another follow up email on the 5th bumping my email to the top of their inbox, in case it got lost. I then received a response asking if I am available today for a call (this was sent on 05/09/2023 at 11:46). ~15 minutes later I respond and state my availability for today. No call. On 11/09/2023 at 14:44 I send an email stating my availability for the week. No response. On 13/09/2023 at 10:17 I send yet another email bumping it to the top of their inbox. No response. Now, fast forward to today (20/09/2023), I have just sent a follow up email, but do not expect to hear anything back. This has put me massively off ever working for this company if this is how they treat applicants.

I received an invitation on Hackajob to interview, which I accepted and suggested some times. The recruiter then agreed to a time, that time rolls around and I receive no phone call. (Interview was scheduled on 16/08/2023 at 13:00). I then receive a response at 13:32 from the recruiter explaining that they had a few meetings which overrun and will call me back ASAP. No worries, happens all the time I thought. So, I respond the following day (due to meetings) with some times that I am available to be called (the "ASAP" never happened that day anyway). I then reschedule the interview on Hackajob, and the recruiter accepts (01/09/2023 at 10:30AM). 10:30AM rolls around, and no call again. I send a polite email at 10:33AM asking when I could expect to receive the phone call, no response. I then send an email on 05/09/2023 at 11:41AM asking whether we can reschedule, as the meeting did not go ahead. At 11:46AM I receive a response asking whether I am available later that day to have a call, which I was, so I responded with some times that worked for me (at 12:19PM). No response yet again. I then send a follow up email with some availability for the week, including times, on the 11/09/2023. No response yet again. I then send yet another follow-up email to them on the 13/09/2023 bumping the email to the top of their inbox, in case they missed it, as I know from experience that emails can easily get buried under others. No response yet again. Fast forward to today, 20/09/2023. I have sent a follow-up email again. No response (as of yet).
