They sent me an email in which they wrote that they had tried to arrange a telephone discussion with me regarding the specific role, and that they did not get any response from me. They also declared in this mail that, for this reason, they assumed that I no longer wanted to be considered for the role - but they also provided an email address where I could ask my application to proceed further. Actually, I did not receive any mails nor phone calls from them regarding the role. I even queried my call list from my telephone service provider: I could identify each call incoming in the precedent several weeks, and none of them was from this company. However, I immediately replied to their aforementioned mail, to each relevant email address, declaring that I am still interested in the position: I am available for phone calls; I myself can call any number they desire to be called; and I am available for video interviews on all the popular video meeting platforms. At the same time, I checked the status of my application in their recruitment system: they had already set it to "Withdrawn" (UK edition) and "Withdrawn at Telephone screen" (US edition of their recruitment site). They did not reply to this mail of mine in the next multiple weeks. They did not call me either. It became clear that they did not endeavour to reach out to me regarding the position: not before their ominous mail, and not even after it. Their reason was fake, and the administration in the recruitment system was fake and misleading. It was a lie that they were open for proceeding my job application forward. I do not know why they did not simply reject my application. Maybe this kind of administration was better for their HR KPIs in the short term. Maybe it was only a fault of a single person. (Even in that case, their system let the person do this, so it is not simply a single-person issue.) However, in the long term, I do not think that this kind of fake administration could be advantageous for any parties involved.

It wasn't great, the interviewer repeatedly attempted to trip me up during the interview process, and seemed quite disinterested in my responses. On the whole I didn't enjoy said interview process.
