I've just ("just" being a week ago) received a kind e-mail where an XYZ company is informing me that "post an interview with me, they've found me great and blah blah, but they decided to go with another candidate blah ..." which is pretty standard and common and all. The catch is we never had the interview.


I got an email from Indeed or somewhere, similar. "How was your recruitment experience with Company X? They interviewed you last week."

"1 star. This is the first I've heard of or from Company X since submitting my resume."


Ah uhh, well they clearly went with the other candidate over your lack of short term memory ;)


Yes, my personal "Severance" episode.
