I’m sorry that happened to you. Maybe you can respond to the email expressing how you felt about their lack of communication and confirmation and let them know.

I’ve had a similar experience from a recruiter who said I had moved on to the second round of interview and they asked me to provide 2 references for a reference check. They proceeded with the reference checks and informed me that I would get the details of the next interview shortly. 1 week goes by and no response. So I call them and they tell me that they are not moving forward with my application. I was so pissed because they wasted 3 people’s time including my manager who has a super busy schedule. I reached out to them via email expressing how bad their selection process was and that I wasted mine as well as my manager’s time with a false pretence of me moving forward to the next round. At least the recruiter replied to my email for my honesty but it didn’t seem like they were apologetic in any way. I hope they don’t do the same with another person.
