This happened to me twice this week. Reached out to me to set a date to meet. Ghosted after. Another one set a time to meet but was a no show. With all due respect, we all know you are right in front of your screen all day. So there really is no excuse for this. It’s disrespectful from recruiters on behalf of their agencies and to the people whose time they are wasting. Did you ever find out why that happened? And how often is too often for a follow up?

It just happens. They spend all day throwing hooks into the water and just go with the biggest fish. Can’t take it personally. Someone probably just responded earlier than you, or they filled the role, or they put it on hold for the holiday, etc. Could be a zillion reasons

Nothing. Patience. It’s a holiday week

Also, out of curiously. Are you at liberty to mention which agencies this was? I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the same agency.

@Grey don’t know she sent me a message this afternoon and asked if we could chat today I replied yes and then she goes silent.

Name names

It’s a holiday week... that’s probably why.

She found someone better

It’s their job to line you up but sometimes their brief falls through

Currently our marketing team is of one (me) and we outsource quite a bit of other tasks as we continue to grow.

Yet so many people (several in different teams) have requested to review my work before it’s sent. It’s unnecessary and makes the job less efficient. How can I politely and professionally decline their request?

I just started with a company as an HR Generalist. Within the 3 weeks of being there, my boss’s boss left, and today I found out my boss gave notice. HR is not valued at the company and it’s disheartening to know I was hired into a mess. I am now actively looking but how do I explain to other employers why I am actively looking and what do I put on my resume? I have never had to deal with this before.
