How about when you're told you pass and moving on to the next round, then never contacted again?

Or invited to an on-site at a specific time, then no one answers you, and there's no actual interview when you get to their location?

Or passing the interview process, them telling X salary was OK, then when it comes to the actual offer, they offer X/2 salary?

Had something similar happen to me and this recruiter will forever be on my blacklist.

I was referred to a company in SF. Received a phone screen from the recruiter and from the start it seemed like she was disinterested. Instead of just ending it early she said she will reach back and set up a technical phone interview with one of the engineers. I looked on glassdoor and it seems that the other candidates got the same experience I received.

If I was sourced through an internal referral and my resume still doesn't meet your company's expectations, please just go ahead and reject me. Don't waste my time. Salesforce and Uber rejected me after an internal referral and I respect 100% them for not wasting my time.

Not sending rejections after an internal referral seems to be a common theme. I personally still have about 8 open applications in Amazon's system after getting referred by an AWS architect. I'm guessing HR doesn't pay attention, and it's up to a team to become interested in me or kind enough to send a rejection.
