Complete Healthcare Communications, Inc. interview questions

I was asked to do a writing evaluation with a two week time limit. I felt motivated so I decided to take on the assignment, even though it ended up being more demanding than I had anticipated (18 hrs). After turning it in, the recruiter gave me a one week estimated response time. I followed up 3 weeks after hearing nothing. She immediately responded that they would not proceed further. Clearly I was not a fit but after all that work, a follow up is expected. As far as I know the recruiter had no intention of informing me of this decision had I not asked.
