Talent Acquistion partner responded promptly to CV. Very excitedly offered a 30 minute conversational meeting with the IT Director. Told that l progressed to next stage - in person interview. Then ghosted. Completely ghosted despite reaching out both to Talent Acquistion and the Leader who l had the 'conversational' interview with. If you change your mind about about an applicant, lose your funding or whatever the reason may be it is professional curtesy and good manners to let them know. There really is no excuse. Its a shame as the role sounded a fantastic challenge in an exciting environment for a company doing really innovative projects.
