I applied for job @ the end of June. it was a repost. Not sure when it was originally posted. I applied on a Friday. The following week I got an email thanks but no thanks. Then a week or two later I got an AI text asking to schedule a phone interview with recruiter. Did that. Couple days later I had a video interview with the hiring manager. I thought it went very well. Get called week later they went with someone else. Now a week later they emailed me asking for another interview. What do I do

If you're genuinely still interested in the job, you can do the interview. But, if it were me, I would ask for clarity in their process and what exactly they are looking for because they seem disorganized.

Something similar happened to me a few weeks ago. About an hour before my scheduled phone interview I received a text from the recruiter I was working with that said the position had been filled. It was bizarre because she had literally called me to schedule the interview the day before. A few hours later, at the time we had scheduled, the hiring manager called me to do the interview. I didn't say anything about the text I received, hoping it was an error on the part of the recruiter. A few hours later I received an email from the hiring manager saying she hadn't realized the position was already filled, and apologized for taking up my time. I was confused and annoyed but also grateful because it seems I dodged a bullet. I couldn't work for such a disorganized company!

If you really want the position it can't hurt to do the interview. I would definitely be on the look out for any potential other red flags though!

hahah... in my case they interviewed me 5 times in one week each with a different person and I was sure I got the job. Next thing I know they hired someone else. 2 weeks later they wanted me to interview again. I told the agent I wanted another $10/hour and went for the interview and got hired. 2.5 years ago. I was their best producer, 5 x faster than anyone else. just got laid off last week along with 5 others. Now again looking for work.

Don’t bother with them. Seems they’re very unprofessional and its starting off negative.

Don't waste your time interviewing with a company that is both very unprofessional and completely disorganized. It sends a really bad message because both are HUGE red flags

I would go up the chain. Talk to them about what's happened and how this makes them look. And be glad you dodged that nonsense!
