I was referred to this role internally by a couple of colleagues two months ago in early December. I had a phone screen that was rescheduled twice by the recruiter to early January. After having that phone screen, I participated in a manager interview in mid-January. I was then ghosted by the recruiter despite trying to follow up via email, as well as via my refer-ree. Realizing that I was being ghosted, I started to apply to other roles. 4 weeks later in mid-February, I finally got a response that the role has been filled. By the time I finally received that response, I interviewed with a handful of other companies and accepted an offer for another large company in the area. Please be mindful of your candidate experience. 2 months long is unacceptable for a modern technology company, especially as someone who was an internal referral. A simple "there a few other candidates that are further along in the interview process than you are, so the role may be filled at some point" could have saved me a lot of grief in my job search.
