I was contacted directly by a recruiter from Garver. In our initial conversation, he told me the hiring manager was interested in interviewing me. He also confirmed my salary expectation, which I had clearly listed upfront (and was in the listed range). I confirmed it was my minimum, and he told me he would be scheduling an interview soon. That interview was never scheduled. After waiting a reasonable amount of time, I followed up to ask if the interview was still being arranged. No response. I understand that recruiting priorities shift and that not every candidate moves forward. That’s fine. What isn’t fine is a lack of basic professional courtesy. If compensation expectations were ultimately a concern, that conversation should have happened directly instead of simply ghosting. I won’t apply here again or suggest to others based on this experience. Respecting candidates’ time and communication goes a long way — something they clearly don't care about.
