I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart (San Bruno, CA) in Feb 2019
Interview
I did a sourcer phone screen followed by a call with the recruiter and then the hiring manager. Recruiter was professional on first call but totally ghosted me after my later call with the hiring manager. The hiring manager call was a little awkward. Some of questions asked were unclear. Also not clear on next steps.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart (Bentonville, AR) in Jan 2019
Interview
I applied online. A recruiter reached out to me within a couple days, which was my initial phone interview. I ended up interviewing with the director who Id be reporting to 5 days later via skype. I then had to email the recruiter every 4-5 days for the next 6 weeks only to be told the hiring manager hasnt made a decision. After 6 weeks of getting the run around (never got a no), I stopped emailing the recruiter.

Question 1
If you had two tasks equally as important but could accomplish one, what would you do?
I applied online. I interviewed at Walmart in Sep 2018
Interview
I got a call from the recruiter in September soon after applying online. I had a screening call with her that went well and she set up a call with the hiring manager right away. That call went GREAT. I know my field and that space very well. I sent my thank you to the recruiter to share with the hiring manager that day. And then three follow-up emails to the recruiter, not to be a pest but inquiring about the timeline, offering to answer any questions they may have about my candidacy and congratulations on a major acquisition. I have not received one reply. For those preparing for an interview or are questioning why you too have been "ghosted", this may happen and it's not you, this is apparently a common practice within this organization. It's a shame. If I have time to prep and we both have time for the interviews, I believe the recruiter should have time to send a "sorry but we're not going with you" email so we can each close the books, so to speak, on a good note.
