I had a 30-minutes phone screen with their corporate recruiter, which was straightforward. She asked about my experience, why I'm interested in working for The Carlyle Group and why I'm looking for a new role. The interview went fine, but their recruiter ghosted me without giving me any updates, even after I sent two follow-up emails. It was unprofessional and disrespectful to not close out an interview by saying whether or not they want to progress further with one's candidacy, especially since the interview process began. Other firms would provide a response, one way or another, but NOT The Carlyle Group. I suppose ghosting extends beyond dating and into the corporate PE world...
