A recruiter on Reddit described a candidate who waited six weeks after an interview with no response — no rejection, no update, nothing. The candidate eventually discovered the position had been quietly closed and that none of the applicants had been notified. Rather than move on, they filed a formal complaint. The company apologised. The recruiter, posting about the incident, wrote: "A yes or a no, even a late one, beats silence every time."
