I was excited to interview with this company and for the position (don’t want to name the role), and received an interview with HR. The conversation seemed like it went great to me, and I spent a ton of time researching the company as I was so interested in the opportunity. I was told by my interviewer that they would reach out soon with next steps, I followed up via email twice (a week apart) to say thank you and express that I still had interest.. only to be ghosted. This is extremely unprofessional and downright rude to candidates who have take their valuable time to research you and talk with you. The least you can do is to give candidates you have spoken to less than 5 minutes of your time to send a rejection email. What would be even better is to take a little time to give some form of feedback, I understand that’s not possible for all applicants, but at least people you have spoken to.
