I was contacted by a recruiter from Addison Group through LinkedIn regarding a potential opportunity. I had two conversations with the recruiter, and the communication throughout the initial process was positive. I was told the next step would be for my information to be reviewed with the hiring manager and that I would receive an update the following week. After our last convo, I followed up with a thank-you message and then sent an additional follow-up a couple of weeks later. I never received a response. I completely understand that hiring needs change and that candidates may not always move forward in the process. However, a simple update letting me know the status, even if the company decided to go in another direction, would have been appreciated. The lack of communication felt unprofessional and negatively impacted my impression of the recruiting team and the organization.
