Not too long after submitting my application, I exchanged a series of email messages in which I confirmed a phone interview with a recruiter. However, when that date and time rolled around, I didn't receive a phone call. I tried calling the recruiter and leaving an email message, but didn't receive a response in a week, so I contacted the recruiter's manager. The recruiter called on time the next time, but no explanation or apology was given for the unprofessional behavior. Then I talked with the hiring manager and I thought that interview went well, but then I was informed they declined me. I was already iffy on this position given anecdotes I've heard about layoffs they've had.
