Not sure where you are but this may be linked to the number of resignations and vacancies in many big companies at the moment. I have been trying to buy some high value electronic instruments at work for the last 12 months but it is turning into a nightmare. Some suppliers won't reply to emails , others promise to arrange a sales engineer to visit but never do. Finally one company seemed interested and sent a pre-sales engineer who took details then vanished , then I was told that engineer was ill but another would come out to get the same info. They came out then the same happened again and I'm told the pre-sales engineer has left and another needs to be sent out.

This same pattern seems to be repeating a lot these days.

It's quite possible the manager who wanted the post you applied for has gone and your appointment had been forgotten about. HR would have been involved but don't like to leave their homes at the moment so this happens.
