Multiple rounds of telephonic interviews leading to a final in-person interview. After multiple rounds of telephonic conversations and interviews, decision was made to provide an offer letter without an in-person interview (probably as I wasn't in the same location). Emails were sent out from the leadership confirming the candidate has the necessary skillset for their benefit. Talks were held to discuss numbers for the offer and other offer requirements. A request was made by the leadership to visit the site in-person. Questions irrelevant to the position were discussed during the interview and I was told they will get back to me. Later heard from a third party source that they chose not to proceed since the candidate does not have the necessary skills, which did not make sense.
