Phone Interview with recruiter/hiring manager and onsite interview with the team and Chief of Staff. I was happily employed at my current job but decided to put myself out there just to see what the company had to offer. After the phone interview, I had an onsite interview where the hiring manager basically begged me to come in and was able to increase my base salary. I decided to give it a shot to see if I liked the culture and everything was fine until they ghosted me after the interview. After that experience, I would NEVER work for this company. If the candidate did not get the role, let them know! You are basically damaging your reputation if you ignore your candidates.
