HM not responding after taking three rounds of interview!

Gave interview in Amazon Ads team for AAM role (L3), all three round went well still no response, where I was hopeful. How HM's are curating profiles, after holding 3+ years of experience in the applied role domain, with relevant experience basis JD, still HM's are not responding. What kind of hiring is this?

Cars24 APM Interview - Worst experience

Around a month ago, HR called to ask if I was interested in the APM role. After following up multiple times for the interview, they said the hiring manager didn't like your profile. After 2-3 weeks, different HR reached out, saying they want to conduct round - 1 for the same team. The interview happened, and I reached out to HR after 3-4 days for the next steps, but she kept cutting my calls and completely ghosted me. I reached out to another HR, and she said the feedback on the portal was that "experience is not enough." I was pretty disappointed as while conducting interviews, HRs reached out to me so many times, but they couldn't even send an automated email for feedback. But it didn't end there. The HR who ghosted me called again after a couple of weeks to schedule round 1 with another team. The interview went well, and the interviewer asked me about my availability for round 2 and when I could join them, etc., saying we would try to conduct the next round soon. When I reached out for feedback, HR kept saying I'll call you later. I'm busy right now, and then they ghosted me. After following up multiple times, she said the feedback wasn't positive. I hoped for round 2 here since the interviewer seemed convinced and contented with my profile. Now, just because I reached out 10s of times, they told me that I have been rejected! How much time does it take to send an automated email? :/

The mindset of some recruiters nowadays

So i approached a PM at klub, a revenue based financing firm & asked him about open positions. He forwarded my cv to the hr. Couple of days later, the hr called me & we had an initial discussion. Then he scheduled an intro round with a PM. I had the PM round which was completely behavioral. It seemed like he was not much interested in the interview & took it just for the sake of it. Questions like tell me about yourself, why klub, why PM were asked. 2 weeks later i called the hr(yes, there were no responses from them) & asked him whats the status to which he replied, we have proceeded with another candidate. *Here comes the interesting part* I asked him to provide me a reason because i didnt get any feedback from the PM. This is the conversation which happened He: we are looking for pm with experience in api integrations only Me: okay so why was that not mentioned in the JD He: the requirement was changed later & also you dont have the experience required(1-3 yrs) Me: so why did you contact me in the 1st place if you thought i didnt have enough experience? Also, there are 2 guys who are working at klub who are from consulting background & have no experience whatsoever but they're apm He: but you need to understand that they are from tier 1 college, bits pilani & iit madras Me: how does that make a difference in product experience? I have worked on & built real products even if its for 10 months, all they have are hypothetical case studies, its not like they have been entrepreneur at past He: no we have specific requirements & the hiring manager didn't see yours as a fit Hr will hire people with no experience but from a premium college than people with experience but from a not so known college
