> How does your company handle communication etiquette?

There's no etiquette in hiring today. Anything goes is the current de facto standard, and anything above it is extending courtesy to the candidate.

I'm inclined to agree. How long do you feel this has been the case?
Longer than COVID.

Before COVID I had a couple of applications with some large consulting corps. One is still open, like the status of the job position implies that they might still reach out however unlikely it is at this point.

Another closed the position, then emailed me telling me that HR had closed the position because of funding, they hadn't hired but they had just opened up an identical role with the same team and would like me to apply for it.

Any they wonder why people don't care about the companies that hire them. They dick us about to see how much we will put up with.

It changed around 2015-2016.
