I had an interview scheduled with a well-known organization for a program management role.
- Interview was confirmed
- Time/location set
- Everything looked good
Then the day before, I get an email saying they’re canceling because they’ve decided to move forward with another candidate.
No conversation. No interview. Just… canceled.
I understand not getting selected, that’s part of the process.
But canceling a confirmed interview at the last minute feels like something else entirely.
It raises a bigger question:
Are hiring processes actually respecting candidates’ time anymore?
Because behind every scheduled interview is:
- Prep time
- Schedule adjustments
- Mental energy
I’m curious: has this happened to others recently?
Is this becoming standard practice, or just a bad experience?
