I was referred to the position so this was the only way I even got through the door. I had a great interview with the recruiter, and an even better interview (at least I thought based on the many words of affirmation, and praise for my background) with the hiring manager. I was told by both the recruiter and the hiring manager that this was early on in the process, and that I would hear back the following week (I was interviewed on a Thursday). The next day, around mid-day, I received the 'no-reply' email indicating that I will not be moving forward. It was disappointing, and very much felt like I was only interviewed as a courtesy for being referred. Zero compassion from the company with false expectations set from the beginning.

Recruiters GHOST you! Typical phone screen. Overall fine conversation, seemed like a good person but went dark. Somewhat standard terms (were a big family, entrepreneurial, etc.). Not that hard but pretty standard. Don’t be shocked to never hear back - have heard the same from several others. Suspect they were just trying to get intel on other companies.
