I technically never got through anything I would call an 'interview process.' The recruiter reached out to me after I applied through a job board and then rescheduled no less than *5 times*. When she finally called me, she was 10 minutes late and asked to reschedule *again*. I said I couldn't do that, so she pretended to conduct an interview -- and by this I mean she put me on mute while doing something else (I think I heard a blender?) and repeated a question she had just asked me but not heard the answer to. A few days later I got an email saying the position had been put on hold.
I understand hiring blitzes happen and some candidates have more compelling resumes than others, but you're wasting everyone's time at the point that you're being so blatantly disrespectful of your apparently lower-tier candidates' time. I would rather have received a rejection email than gone through the "interview process."
