Candidate-reported interview process

had an initial screening then they called me right back to set up an interview with the hiring manager. The interview was on MS Teams and it seemed good. That was it. I never heard back, not even a reply to my thank you email.

The interview process was marked by a severe lack of communication. Even when I asked for updates, I rarely heard back. After three interviews spanning three months, I was never told I didn't get the job. I only found out who they hired by checking their website.

I applied online by submitting my resume. About two weeks later, I received a call to set up the first interview. The interview was with a regional executive director, a staff member, a board member, and a long-term volunteer. The conversation was casual, and the questions were typical.
