Have applied to multiple senior engineering (IC - individual contributor) roles, and have never been ghosted this way (in the US). I've always got a phone screen, and a polite "not a fit" or something neutral (for the hiring co.) as a decline. To be ghosted, 1) on a Zoom 2) On a call, scheduled by other party - is either massively unprofessional, or there has been massive miscommunication of some kind (possibly by the recruiter). Please try to spend extra time with recruiter on every aspect when scheduling calls. You don't deserve to be discouraged in this fashion, but you also have to be careful in where you send in your candidacy.
