Applied in February 2022 Hiring manager contact 5 weeks later Initial phone interview the next week Toward the end of the phone interview, hiring manager says they were working on scheduling further interviews [Silence for weeks] I reach back out to hiring manager a month after the first phone call asking for a status update They reply two days later that they are having "scheduling conflicts" and that they will let me know will know by x day of next week if we can bring you in for an interview. The day after the day they stated: Their ATS sends me a default rejection notice A week AFTER the ATS sent me the default reject, the hiring manager emails me to tell me they are not proceeding with me. Definitely at least one disorganized unit/hiring manager in the giant machine of this organization. I can't understand how they can allow someone to conduct recruitment with potential staff and portray their organization so poorly to outsiders. Hiring process for such a large institution should be standardized with process and training for hiring manages so a series of events like this does not occur.
