this is making me think of so many friends who are ghosted by recruiters after multiple interviews and still have no idea why https://www.reddit.com/user/VariousMarzipan4197

idk y ppl think ghosting in the hiring process is EVER acceptable, can we just get an honest answer

ghosted by recruiters? sounds like they didn't get the job, but they did get the phantom treatment 😔

are you kidding me? recruiters are just gunning for numbers. If you're not a slam dunk fit, they don't care about your feelings, move on.

wow, imagine having friends to be ghosted by recruiters. must be nice.

idk why people get so hung up on not getting a rejection explanation from recruiters... if they don't want to hire you. That's all the answer you need.

ghosting is real, but this thread just makes me think of people who don't prep and are surprised when they bomb the interview.

aha yeah same, except instead of friends it's my rejection emails from Google research internship

whats the point of ghosting people after multiple interviews? just tell them they didnt get the job. its not that hard to have a bit of common courtesy

nah, recruiters aren't required to give you a reason, it's just business, get used to it

what's the point of multiple interviews if you're just gonna leave people hanging like that?

what even is the point of multiple interviews if you're just gonna ghost them afterwards?

feels. that's why i just told the recruiter "ghost me too, coward" and left.

how can something as simple as a 'thank you note or a basic exit interview be so difficult for some companies?

glad some things are standard across industries, like ignoring people's time.

not true at all. recruiters are just busy people. They don't owe you an explanation. get over it, it's not that deep.

same energy as my love life lol

recruiters ghosting people? shocking, i'm completely surprised 😒

ugh yeah and can we also talk about how recruiters sometimes have the audacity to reach back out

yessss this is so real and it's not just recruiters, i've been ghosted by whole companies after getting through to the

Ghosted by recruiters? Sounds like they're the real ghosts here! Maybe they're trying to scare you into accepting the first offer that comes your way. 👻

yeah that shit is wild and happens to so many people, also noticed that companies still have the nerve to ask for references and feedback afterwards like are u kidding me

ugh i know, it's the worst. companies be treating people like garbage. like just have the common decency to send a rejection email or something, you know?

but arent recruiters just as guilty of sending awkward silence in hopes people just go away too

dude, that happens to literally everyone. it's not just recruiters being rude, it's just business as usual. get used to it.

yeah that's basically just dating apps but with a salary promise

if they were any good at their jobs, maybe they wouldn't need reddit posts speculating about being ghosted

why bother even applying if you're gonna string people along, or are the recruits too afraid to ask why they got shut down?

what's the easiest way to get a recruiter to level with you when they're blowing you off?

damn, that's so true. why can't recruiters just be upfront and give some feedback instead of

yeah, that ghosting is so frustrating. there's gotta be a better way for companies to give real feedback, even if it's just a quick email. would make the whole process less soul-crushing.

fr, that's so frustrating. recruiters really need to be better about communicating and not leaving

what makes you think anyone gets hired based on interviews anyway? half the time it's just about who's willing to quit their soul at the next meeting

if your friends can't figure out why they're getting ghosted after 2nd or 3rd interview it's probably because they're just not that great of a fit for the job. kinda harsh but tbh

yeah that's the worst and ghosting is so unprofessional. the least they could do is send a generic rejection email instead of leaving people hanging.

great, now reddit is just aRolodex of recruiter emotional support animals

yeah same, i'm pretty sure recruiters just use us for therapy sessions before disappearing into thin air

um yeah because it's totally reasonable to expect an interviewee to reach out to the recruiter after multiple interviews to ask for an

ugh, i feel that so hard. it's the worst when you put in all that time and energy into interviews, just to get ghosted in the end.

lowkey same, i'm still salty about that one job i got ghosted for after like 3 rounds of interviews.

lol must be because their skills are ghosting the recruiters' actual answers to the interview questions

Sounds like they're stuck in a leave me alone pattern.

are you seriously expecting people to just be fine with being hung out to dry by multiple companies without any clear

true. the silence from recruiters after interviews is the worst. it's so frustrating not knowing what went wrong or if you even had a

idk about others but if i dont hear back after an interview i just assume i didnt get the job. no need to overthink it.

if a recruiter can't be bothered to send a rejection email after multiple interviews, that's a huge red flag about the company culture and you're better off without them.

what's the point of having a "hiring process" if we're just gonna blindside people and not even have the decency to tell them why they

Marzipan4197 is still waiting to get hired by the company in that link.

fr, this is so frustrating. the lack of feedback from recruiters is disrespectful to candidates.

this is so frustrating. recruiters need to do a better job of communicating with candidates, even if it's just a simple rejection.

how is it not clear that this is a giant red flag for the companies doing the ghosting tho?

what a total joke. are we going to keep pretending like there are some magic answers or is it time to admit most of

tell me, what do you think is the real reason behind this?

this is so true, it's really frustrating when that happens. the whole hiring process needs to be more transparent and respectful of candidates' time.

omg yes! i've had friends deal with that too and it's so frustrating. also, can we talk about how awful it is when companies make you do 'homework' for the interview process and

yeah why do recruiters lie and say "we'll be in touch" and then just abruptly drop you after not even having the decency to say no thanks?

i know right, it's like they're trying to break the world record for most fast disappearances since david copperfield

same, it's like they're sucked into a black hole of silence. at least send a courtesy email and let them know it's not a fit, don't just leave them hanging

how tf do these recruiters have the nerve to ghost people after multiple interviews?

yeah this is so real... and it's just a symptom of a bigger problem - treating people like commodities instead of humans who deserve respect and transparency

idk if it's ghosting or just recruiters being bad at their jobs but can we not play victim when we're teh ones applying

Why are you pawning off on some internet user's conundrum when it's happening to real people in your own community?

same, it's like they're playing some kind of twisted game of "i'm not interested, but let's keep you on the hook" really garbage grace period if you ask me

Really though, is it that hard to send a simple email or give a call and explain it's a no instead of just cutting people off?

yeah that's just them practicing for the "i'm not closing your deal because i got a better stock option" line they'll use when interviewing

same, and it's wild to me that companies can just waste people's time like that, no follow up, no nothing...

dont sympathize with ppl who cant read the room and think 3-4 interviews means they're getting the

idk what's going on with people who ghost but if you're going to do an interview can you just have the decency to tell me i'm not getting the job instead of

omg yes!! and it's even worse when they make you do those ridiculous homework assignments before even meeting in person

your empathy is cute but some people just aren't qualified and need to own up to it.

don't even get me started on that... and it's even worse when you consider how much personal and technical info we're expected to share in the process. total lack of respect

idk about this take. if someone's ghosting you after multiple interviews. That's on them, not the candidate.

Recruiters ghosting people after multiple interviews is the tech industry's version of a bad Tinder date.

yeah, that's the worst. like thanks for wasting my time, ghosters. maybe send a polite rejection next time instead of just disappearing? that's what i call professional. 🙄

idk what's harder, being ghosted by recruiters or having to actually ask for feedback from them

lol the why is just "u forgot my avocado toast preference on the 3rd interview

yessss and it's even more infuriating when it happens multiple times in a row, it's like, can't you just tell me i'm

how many of us had to teach ourselves the skills they're "requiring" because bootcamps and colleges aren't keeping up?

same.. it's wild how they can just not bother to give a response after all that time and energy.

same, it's so frustrating. the least they could do is give some feedback instead of just ghosting.

recruiters ghosting people after interviews is the most haunting horror story i've ever heard 😔💀

this is the worst. i've been there too - it's so frustrating when companies just ghost you after all that time and effort.

recruiters ghosting people after interviews is why i became a barista. at least the coffee shop ghosts me upfront.

i know like i had a friend who went through that hell for 2 months with a startup and they just

I've had two ghosting experiences as a job applicant, but as a recruiter I make it a point to close every loop, even if it's just a "we decided to go with another candidate" - let's not perpetuate the idea that all recruiters are monsters

omg yes this is so common. and it's not just the ghosting, sometimes you get a rejection email a month after the final interview with no actual

same here, got ghosted after three interviews with no explanation, no phone call, not even an automated "wish you the best" email.

yeah this is so real. and it's even worse in crypto, no recruiter courtesy even exists

are you kidding me? recruiters get flooded with resumes and don't owe anyone a personal

recruiters ghosting ppl after interviews is the scariest horror movie franchise out there

bruh wtf are you talking about, recruiters owe you nothing. if they dont want you, they dont have to say why. get over it and move on.

i feel this so hard, and it's not just the ghosting... it's when they reach back out 6 months later like nothing happened and want to start the

yeah it's always someone else's problem. Not the thing you need to actually work on in yourself.

true, it's the worst. i've been there too many times. such a frustrating and disheartening experience.

dude that's not how it works, if you don't get hired after multiple interviews it's usually because

yeah, this is super frustrating, and it's even worse when they don't even bother to say no or give

maybe they should try asking for feedback instead of just wondering. what's the point of ghosts and mysteries - just tell people why you're

I've got a hard time feeling sorry for people who can't bother to follow up after an interview. If you want the job, pick up the phone.

don't you think the real question is why are people putting themselves through that, hoping to get somewhere, when no one's even honest enough to tell them why it's not working out?

yes this happens all the time and its so frustrating... recruiters literally treat people like commodities, not humans. ffs send a rejection email it's not that hard

if your friends are getting ghosted. Its probably cause they suck at interviews. git gud scrub
