I received an email from a "senior recruiter" inviting me to an initial interview. I was asked to fill out a (not-insignificant in length) "Tech DNA" thing and respond with my availability. I did so within maybe half an hour of receiving the email? Never heard another word from anyone at Upstart.
This recruiter never responded to schedule. I waited a few days and emailed to prompt them, no response. I started emailing daily wondering what happened, no response. I eventually emailed their HR department directly to see if maybe my recruiter got hit by a bus or was fired or something. I've had that happen before, one time a recruiter literally had a heart attack and I got lost in the shuffle, and one time a recruiter accidentally deleted my resume and no one noticed. No response. Clearly they have no interest in actually interviewing me, or treating candidates with anything resembling basic respect or courtesy.
