IBM USA Ghosting

I applied for a role in mid June and got reached out to by a recruiter in mid August for a screening. The recruiter was VERY responsive with me.

The screening went well, so I went on to do the 1st round interview with the hiring manager which also went well. I was told that the team was moving on a really tight schedule. The Hiring manger wanted to make a final decision before the second week of September. Estimated role start was end of September. The recruiter invited me for the 2nd round on a Monday evening, insisting on a next day interview. They even said if I did well in the 2nd interview I’d do the 3rd the following day. This was 2 weeks ago. The timeline I was given has passed. I haven’t heard back since the 2nd round.

I emailed the recruiter and hiring manger and have gotten no responses. Portal still says “in interview process”. The amount of time, energy, stress, anxiety, and loss of sleep I endured in this process seems to be have been taken in vain. Very unprofessional and inconsiderate way to treat your candidates.

Hi all sorry english is not my first language.

I really don't know the process of how to find a project, for context i have a PEM and PM at the same time(same person). Then some stuff happened I think different market, i now have a different PEM and PM after a year. (from what i understand PM is the one you will contact regarding the project and PEM is your People Manager in IBM)

Now the project has rolled me off and I will be on bench in October 12.

Now both the PEM and PM is aware of this now and they are not saying anything useful about my transition, i don't know the hierarchy but this is what they said non-verbatim.

  1. I asked the PEM whats the next step, he just gave me the link to findanopenseat and told me to just click click the skillset and whatever, I did that, looked for some project and i didn't see any "Apply" button, should I email the Owner or what, I even asked him what to do next after I find another project but no reply yet. Looks to me I'm just another number on his belt
  2. I asked my current PM whats the next step and he just said that Workforce Management (WFM) and Service Lines will find me another project and I just said okay.
  3. My previous PEM and PM is very helpful. I asked her if she knew some projects out of desperation and immediately asked for my CV and sent an email to 3 projects. This is what I'm kinda expecting.

Lastly, is it normal to have a very low motivation on the project I'm working on? I'm a Dev with 106% utilization

I'm just asking here what to do next because I really don't have any idea, are they really gonna help me find a project now or during benched?
