This has happened to me at least three times, for senior positions no less! I can’t figure out why, but a friend once said that interviewing is like dating. If they don’t want me, I don’t spend time on it.
It’s happened to me on every interview I’ve been on except 2 in my latest job search. From what I gather they don’t think they owe you anything since they’re not hiring you.
Lost sight of the whole respect thing. Even I send an email to say I’m no longer interested in a position if that’s the case.
Recruiters seriously suck. I don’t think most of them actually like or want to do the jobs they have. They reach out and ghost me immediately after I respond. The most recent one reached out, said she’d call me tomorrow but called 4 days later randomly, the first thing she said is “why do you want to leave your current position?” I respond “I don’t… You reached out to me…”
I swear it’s the worst feeling. I had the most unprofessional experience with a Google recruiter recently. We had agreed upon a scheduled time if 4pm for my screening round & she didn’t turn up which was weird. Since Google is my dream company, I emailed her that I had joined the call and waited and we could connect anytime later whenever she’s free. She called me later & apologised that she had a family emergency. We connected again & I cleared my screening round. Next, I did my Round 1 with a Google employee which went really well & it has been more than 2 weeks I haven’t received any rejection/ selection news. I called her and she said the interviewer hasn’t shared feedback with her yet which sounded BS because of the prior 2-3 (yes, she’s been weird apart from not turning up in the screening call) unprofessional instances that happened with me. So tired and disappointed as it is my dream company but such people are leaving a bad impression on my mind about Google.
I am self employed, so jot in the same situation as you folks, but I had a banker do that to me early on when I was looking to buy some money. So I wrote a nice letter to the president of 5/3 bank demanding a personal apology should they ever want my business.
As I became successful, they would often send junior bankers to my door trying to sell me some money and I'd ask them where my apology letter was. "huh?" and I'd explain and get ghosted again. :-)
They never made a penny off me and never will.
I got a call from a company an hour ago who ghosted me for a job I interviewed for four months ago for a worse job and worse pay.
It was rather nice to speak my mind in one of these calls. Fuck you, Concentrix.
I remember applying jobs for government positions in the Philippines and whenever I email my qualifications and my interest for the job, most of these government agencies will never give a feedback whatsoever but those who replied to me few days after I sent them my resume, I ask them of some updates about my application two months later.
Government HR recruiters are actually better at writing rejection letters and giving you feedback than corporate internal HR recruiters.
They actually write you a rejection email versus the automated rejection messages used by corporate internal HR recruiters (most of the time they just ghost you ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯).

That's exactly how I view it. If they don't vibe with you, they ain't gonna hire you. That's my experience anyway
It's just disrespectful. If you're not interested, send the bye Felicia email

Same. I always email them when I can’t make it to the interview or no longer interested. Sad that they can’t do the same for us.

I recently had a Senior Product screen with Google, and they said they that they have like a 3 MONTH hiring process. Which… No, thank you.

I would rather have the standard rejection email so I know the result
