I was recently contacted by a recruiter from JumpstartMD on LinkedIn regarding an opportunity, and I was initially excited about the role. I went through the interview process and made it to the hiring manager round, which I felt went really well. The conversation was positive, and I was told I would hear back the following week. Unfortunately, that follow-up never came. I even sent a polite email asking for an update, and received no response. Being ghosted after investing time and effort into the process is frustrating and unprofessional. I want to be clear — I understand not getting an offer. That’s part of the process. But candidates deserve basic communication and closure, especially after advancing to later stages. A simple update, even a rejection, would have gone a long way. For anyone considering interviewing here, I’d strongly think twice. If a company can’t provide basic communication during the hiring process, it raises concerns about how they operate internally. Communication is a fundamental part of any healthy workplace, and this experience suggests that may be lacking. Overall, the lack of follow-through left a negative impression. I hope the company improves its candidate communication moving forward.
