Ghosted after 5 interviews over 2 months I applied for the role on LinkedIn. Was contacted by the head of sales for an interview. I had several other interviews after that. I followed up with everyone after and sent thank you emails etc. I also had one final interview with the founder. 5 interviews altogether. Every time I followed up I'd get a response after a week on average. The final message was "we're taking our time" Imagine being on the other end of this process. Getting excited about a role and also becoming desperate in the process (we've all seen what the tech market has been like since 2020). Having to do research, schedule and reschedule interviews (the interview with the owner was rescheduled 4 times - I missed my niece's gymnastics state final for the interview), going through rounds of interviews, and not hearing back on updates for weeks. Worrying how to respond to other places you're interviewing at etc etc. Life is hard enough...be kind. Do better. Be professional, honest and human.
