I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Big Fish Games (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2018
Interview
Standard process, phone screen with recruiter, then phone screen with hiring manager and loop interview with 4 or 5 people from the team and business.
I was hopeful of an offer especially after finding out a recent hire has/had no technical background and zero experience in fraud.

How would you take action against in this scenario.

Interview
I did a phone interview with a recruiter. She had asked very simple questions. Scheduled a long face to face with a group of 3 people. Did a quick tour around the facility and everything ended on a positive note with a promise of a call in a few days.
A "senior technical recruiter" sent me an email stating that he would like to setup a time for a phone call and requested my availability. I replied. After waiting for a week, I have heard nothing back, so I have dispatched another email wondering what happened. Again I have heard nothing back, but after a few days I have received an automated email stating that the position has been filled.
Ok. I get it. Something came up, something has changed, the hiring manager had a nephew who was interested in the position, etc, etc, whatever. What threw me off is the fact that the recruiter has stated on his LinkedIn profile that he not only have 10 years of imaginary experience in recruitment, but also...
"Expert at navigating through the full recruitment life-cycle with strong attention to detail and commitment to customer service."
Attention to detail!? Commitment to customer service!? Sadly, some people have no clue about what those phrases are and they simply use it to enhance their LinkedIn profile and promote their "greatness".
Son, when I request an appointment from someone for a phone call, I have the decency AND the courtesy (...I'm sure those are words you have never heard of...) to follow up with them if something has changed or came up.
But don't worry, I'm sure karma is on its way...
