Had a recruiter reach out to me. We set up a time to chat. They emailed me two minutes before the call to reschedule. I proposed a new time - didn’t hear back. Followed up a day after that. Heard back, they apologized and asked for new availability. I responded and a day later, they sent another meeting invite for a call. No email, just a meeting invite. I accepted the meeting. As I waited by my phone, they never called. I know ghosting happens but this… I’ll consider it a bullet dodged.
