Do companies ever call you to tell you they won’t be moving forward with you in the interview process? I finished final rounds with a company last week, followed up today, they asked to get on a “quick call”, wouldn’t see why they would waste their time to give me bad news, but also don’t want to get my hopes up..

I would agree with this. At least they have the decency to let you know via an actual voice call.

I’d prefer to receive a call explaining their reasons. But looks like you got the job anyway. Good luck

To be perfectly honest, this has only happened once in my 40+ year professional career - after 5 interviews, I was indeed one of the final 3, and the prospective employer called to let me know I hadn't been chosen, but they would keep me in mind for other positions for which I wouldn't have to interview. Of course, I never heard back.

nope.

It’s better to receive a call to be rejected than ghosted.,, and yes I’ve had that to happen.
