Ghosted by the CEO

Four hour-long interviews. Finally, excited to hear from CEO, thinking this is it – offer time. We arrange a time to talk. Only to be completely ignored. No response to IM or even quick email apologizing we missed each other yet again (sic), or a confirmation that they decided to move on with a different candidate. Not even a “Hey, we had a great time, but I don’t think we’re a match.” A rare occasion when a recruiter would come in handy, alas.
