Got an email from a recruiter within a week of applying and set up an interview for the next morning. The interview itself was great - the team was very inviting and overall it felt very casual. I received an email the same day providing an assessment to take and asking for availability for a second interview - only the name on it wasn’t mine (wasn’t even close). I get it, stuff happens, so I replied to make sure it was intended for me. I got a quick response back apologizing and ensuring that it was for me. I took the assessment, provided my availability, and then never heard anything back. I get it, stuff happens and hiring can be chaotic. But I have a hunch that I was never supposed to receive that email - and instead of owning up to the mistake I was mislead and ultimately ghosted. I didn’t receive a generic rejection until I reached out to the recruiter for an update. I have no hard feelings and wish the best in their candidate search, but for the sake of improvement in the future, this process quickly became extremely unprofessional and disrespectful of my time.
