I was contacted by a recruiter to see if I was interested in this firm. I was, and shortly thereafter had an initial video interview with HR. It went well, and that same day I received an email asking to schedule a follow-up with their head of litigation, as well as for references. After I responded, I received a recall notice for the email from HR, with no further contact from the firm. The recruiter contacted me a few days later, telling me the firm first said they were going with another candidate, but then said they did not have a pressing need in my area. Fair enough, I guess. Not the first rejection I've received, but the quick reversal from enthusiasm to ghosting was odd.
