False promises and poor communication
Firstly, they didn’t mention you in the first place that they didn’t hire people from specific countries for example Like mine -Croatia. Honestly, whole process feels quite unprofessional. They reached out saying that they was excited and ready to move forward (interview), and after all this waiting, they’ve decided not to move forward for the role at all. It’s extremely disappointing to be given mixed messages like this. I value transparency and professionalism, and I believe candidates deserve clearer communication. It is not acceptable to reach out, create expectations, and then completely change the story.
