It is unprofessional but not surprising.

Once you are rejected, the recruiter probably has moved onto the next project and forgot about you.

Before the pandemic, I did a round of interviews on site with a bank. Not a very senior role, just a developer. Everything went well or so I thought and then radio silence.

Got a text months later from the recruiter who told me the whole group that I interviewed for was gone. So bizarre.

The point though is the recruiter reached out to me, which was nice.

  • Well one of the people I interviewed for one of my manager openings said, when asked on the motivation to apply: “too many surprise layoffs in banks”. I guess he was right.
