Ghosted by RECRUITER of all people. Had a great 1st and 2nd round interview, then had to wait for scheduling with the global head who was based out of the UK. After 2 weeks of not hearing back from anyone, I followed up EIGHT TIMES with the recruiter over the course of the next 6 weeks - not a peep back. I was referred by a friend, so I followed up with her - apparently, the recruiter was still employed by Playstation, and the position was still open. She tried to contact the recruiter about my candidacy, but SHE was ghosted as well!!!
Have the courtesy to explicitly end the process with a candidate if you decide not to proceed. If the reason was that I was over qualified, under qualified, live too far, don't like spinach, whatever it is - END it rather than leave it hanging. This was a god awful process that gave me such a terrible taste of Playstation that when a similar role came up, I decided to not even apply.
Good luck running a company like this.
