I had an initial phone screening with a recruiter named Lacey, and the conversation went very well. During the call, I was told that my background was a strong fit for the role and that I would be moving forward in the interview process. Unfortunately, after that conversation, all communication stopped. I followed up twice for an update and never received a response. While I understand that hiring priorities can change, a brief update or closure would have been appreciated. The lack of follow-through after such positive feedback made for a disappointing candidate experience.
