I was contacted via LinkedIn from a recruiter, which lead to about a 30 minute phone conversation a week after first contact. I was then scheduled for 2 in-person interviews on the same day about a week after my phone conversation. The interviews were supposed to be one after the other, however, both interviewers ( Director and Sr. Director) decided to do a single interview session with all 3 of us. The interview concluded after about 90 minutes and I thought i went fairly well. It wasn't too difficult and was more of a conversation, than an interview. The Sr. Director then took me on a short tour of the building and showed me where my potential team would be. Mentioned as I walked out that we would definitely been in touch soon. The recruiter followed up with me about 48 hours later to let me know they had a couple of more interviews to finish up that week, and that the hiring director would then be OOO for the week after, so it would be 2 weeks until a decision would be made. Less than 48 hours after that touch point, the recruiter sent me a standard email template saying that while I was a great candidate, they decided to go in another direction. I found that rather unprofessional being that A) since I had an in-person interview, then at a minimum, the recruiter should have called instead of emailed and B) the hiring director was supposed to be OOO for a week so a decision wasn't supposed to be made for a while. So, either there was a breakdown in communication between the hiring Director and the recruiter, or I was lied to. Either way, left a sour taste if you will
