What the fuck is wrong with these kind of people?!
So I recently appeared for an android dev job interview in a start-up; the whole time the interviewer (he was the CTO) looked super excited and into my work. I am a fresh graduate with 0 experience in a professional working environment but have a history of a couple of successful apps on the play store since 3 years. The entire time we discussed future plans for the startup and how I was going to contribute towards it. He seemed very interested in my deep learning projects for android and wanted to have similar projects for his products. In the end, he asked me to develop some 'test' projects that can be integrated into his start-up products and told me he'll hire me if he finds it to be as per his need. So I worked on these 'projects' for a month and submitted it to him. He replied that he's impressed with them and will contact me shortly to confirm my job.
That fucker has been ignoring me ever since. He's not responding to any of my e-mails or messages. I feel like a shit right now. How to deal with these assholes?

    Try calling him. Maybe he's just out of office or something?

    If he still doesn't respond, then he's an asshole. He's the type which doesn't want to work hard but wants to take all the credit for other people's ideas as well as cover his own ass. Name and shame. Also cc full conversation to his CEO/HR. They need to know what this guy is doing, possibly you will save other devs from being exploited. And who knows maybe this redflag will start snowballing the process of him getting fired.

    @zemaits That smartass has blocked my number. I tried with talking with him with a different number and he denies interviewing me. I told him I have proof of emailing him the projects he asked for he replies he's never asked for such projects.

    @codeblood Alrighty then go with option which I've told you. E-mail, cc everyone and if posible include some link to a public git repo which shows the exact date when you provided your solution for the interview. So that someone from inside could confirm and compare your solution with what he integrated.

    First, email the CEO.
    Then inform the authorities. They take this shit seriously.
