I have applied for 2 different vacancies.
Apart from the automatically generated confirmation of receipt, I have never heard anything about one position (over 2 months ago).
For the other vacancy, I was invited to an interview 3 weeks after sending the application. After that, despite my positive feedback and my clear expression of interest, I never heard anything again.
In the meantime, both positions are no longer published - probably both have been filled elsewhere.
Obviously, one hand in the recruiting process doesn't know what the other is doing. During the interview, my questions often could not be answered. Instead, I was asked questions that I could not answer because, as an applicant, I did not have the necessary background information and internal data.
This is applicant management at its worst - once and never again. This is a waste of time.
