The application was pretty simple, standard questions and then additional questions specific to the role. Required some effort but nothing crazy. Once you apply they will recah out to you if interested.

I was excited to apply for a marketing role at Mira — the company’s brand positioning and mission really resonated with me. Here’s how it went: 1. Fast invitation — I got an interview invite just 10–15 minutes after submitting my application. Great first impression. 2. No-show interview — On the scheduled day, no one joined the call. No prior reschedule, no email. I followed up myself and ended up rebooking via an outdated Calendly link by manually navigating to the root calendar. Not ideal, but I stayed optimistic. 3. Interview happened — once we finally spoke, the conversation went well. My background matched the role, and we agreed to continue the process the following week. 4. Silence — a week passed. Then two. I followed up politely — no reply. I even messaged two relevant HR team members via LinkedIn. Still nothing. 5. One-month-later ping — My original contact (Ariana) reached out again, saying she had been on vacation and asking if I was still interested. I immediately said yes. I followed up again after… still no response. Initial interview was held at the beginning of April. I understand the market is brutal right now. But this kind of communication from a very beginning in a respected company is disappointing. I have also read previous review from a candidate who had made it to the final stage and was ghosted. That's just awful — such type of ghosting after requesting references from previous companies... What a shame. If you’re hiring — set up a standard auto-replies. It takes like what 1-2 hours of your time? Just manage everyone's expectations with communicating clearly. Or just send a 2-line update saying "sorry we have already shortlisted candidates for this position". Ghosting after interviews shouldn’t be the standard.
