Logical Media Group interview questions

The cruellest, most callous interview process I've ever been a part of. I was screened, then met with the VP, then met with the head of SEO. I was given an assignment that I presented. I then provided 3 references that were contacted. NO JOB OFFER. I can handle rejection, especially after late-round interviews, but to contact my references and not have an offer lined up is an inconvenience that is inexplicable. This agency should be ashamed of itself for how they conduct their hiring process, stringing candidates along, then pulling the rug out from under them. References are not at the beck and call of candidates. Am I to assume that I can just pull them away from their lives and careers whenever I want? Honestly, if anyone at LMG is reading this, you handled this very, very poorly.
