Got email to set up a telephone interview. Telephone interview went for about 30 minutes, interviewer was pleasant and polite.
But that is where it ends the positive. At the end of conversation, interviewer says will be in touch with further steps. 1 month later nothing. Completely ghosted.
If someone took the time out of their schedule to speak with your organization, you should have the common courtesy to let the person know where they stand. Even if you decided to hire someone else, no problem, at least let them know.
This common practice of ghosting candidates and not providing any feedback/decision is extremely disrespectful towards a person's value and time.
Remember, candidates whether or not hired can be advocates about your business based on how you treated them during the hiring process as potential customers or you never know paths my cross again in a professional setting.
Candidates will remember and may negatively impact your organization.
