Needed advice - I want to hope this is a mistake, but you never know. I had three great interviews with a company. The first round was with the recruiter, second round was with the hiring manager, the third round was with the CHRO. The CHRO said last Friday that they would have a decision by no later than mid this week so yesterday. Today, via LinkedIn Recruiter, I received a very canned automated rejection. Is this normal after three positive interviews? Anyone had this happen?

Going through the same thing myself right now. Completed 3 interviews with this organization across 10 days, last one was last Friday with the CEO. It's now been a full week and I've heard absolutely nothing. Idk who goes through all that trouble just to ghost? Clearly if I made it to the final round of interviews there was strong interest?

Has the same happen to me this becoming the norm lately for job searchers. I really don't know why when I reach out to companies for feedback they never respond. I had phone screening for a job they had not planned to staff until June that's how insane it is.

Yes, 5 interviews (met 12 people) over three months. Followed up, "yes you are still being considered...will know by next week" next day, I get a canned rejection email.

Looking at it as a good thing. Not sure I can work for a company or leadership group that makes decisions this way. They obviously have no concern for anyone other than themselves and are fiscally irresponsible.

Yes. That is what weak recruiters/ HR does. They forget that you spent your time interviewing them and they don't understand that they are representing their company to you. They had other candidates, possibly referred or internal seeking promotion, and you were not the #1 choice to accept. It's a professional character choice and they chose the callous, easy route. The recruiter has possibly been trained to minimize contact to you so they don't give feedback that may appear misleading or misunderstood. It's not that hard to say by phone or email, thank you for your time. We were fortunate to have several candidates to consider and another has accepted our offer. We wish you continued success in finding your next role. Bam!!!! If you were expecting a good work situation for your next role this wasn't it. Next, onward and upward.
