Can you elaborate on what you mean by ruined your referral? As in someone referred you and nothing happened?

Being a referral doesn’t make you the best candidate for the job. I get referrals all the time who CDs have no interest in. Maybe the CD wasn’t interested and that’s why they dragged their feet with you. There’s no excuse for ghosting, but when I have a great candidate in front of me, it doesn’t matter how busy I am, I make it a priority to communicate with them. Based on my 10+ years of experience, odds are that the CD wasn’t interested and the recruiter didn’t want to break that news to you. Sorry, I know that sucks.

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation. So, I attended it yesterday and performed well by answering 90-95% of the questions. Even the interviewer gave good comments on my performance. But suddenly today I received an email that my candidature isn't suitable for the role and they're keeping my profile in the database. Does this mean they'll call me if there are openings with some other project?
