Hiring manager reached out to me on linkedin. We spoke for about 30 minutes, and he set up a coffee chat. He asked me to prepare a few email campaigns for their business. After our meeting, I was promised that I would be contacted the following week. I was never contacted again. I followed up, and still nothing. The LEAST you could do after having someone take time to interview is give them a rejection (especially if you wasted their time reaching out to them.).
