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? :/
A lot of HRs do this, when the candidate is a good back up option.
There are other candidates who have applied for the same role and their interview rounds are going good too and the ones which have cleared all rounds, salary negotiations are in progress with them.
So if things don't work out with other candidates, then they will reach out to you, till then they will stall, "be busy/occupied", ghost etc.
We can only aim to be sooo good, that no one thinks of us as a back up option.
This is so true man
Same happened with me for Business Analyst profile. HR is slow,doesn't respond and keep rescheduling my interview then ghost me after 3 round of interviews. Then after 2 weeks again called for different team again took 3 interviews and asked me meet the head of project f2f and now ghosted me again. Why consuming so much energy Cars24 HRs !
Update: Another HR called me last Thursday saying they are hiring for a PM role! he said many people from their panel of interviewers have left, that's why their hiring was on hold!
He told me he will back in sometime, although he has also ghosted me :P
Same has happened with me but for a different role. First interviewer didn’t shortlist even though it went smooth. Next HR reached out to schedule interview for another POD.

I went through multiple rounds of interview for a PM role. Been a week now and nothing from the HR. Dropped an email and WhatsApp but to no avail. Any reason they do like this? Is it ok to keep my hopes on or jus chuck them.?
