The recruitment process is a joke — they're disorganized and aren't respectful of candidates' time.
After doing a recruiter screen for a specific role, they went silent. After following up multiple times, they said that I was rejected for that role due to lack of expertise in that one field. However, an employee at the company confirmed that I was still a candidate and my resume hadn't been reviewed by a hiring manager yet.
In the couple months since then, I've had four more recruiters reach out to me, each asking me to apply for a different role, and none of whom had access to each other's notes nor internal tracker with my previous conversations with them. One of the recruiters actually told me that the initial recruiter had submitted me for a completely different role (let's say Role B) than what I had interviewed for, despite the first recruiter saying I was rejected for Role A.
After being stuck in limbo, I gave up and took an offer somewhere else. What an absolute mess.
