My contact reached out for a different requirement and then referred for it. After a long gap of at least 4 weeks and one follow-up I was asked whether I am open for this role instead. The hiring manager for this role spoke on a call and confirmed that there will be more interviews. Again after a silence of another week and a follow-up, I received a note that I was referred for this role. On the following work day received a system notification that I am not selected for the role. Looks like the recruitment team and the hiring manager are not on talking terms - not knowing what the other is doing. Is the right talent so much in abundance that employers feel careless?
