A recruiter from my DREAM JOB called me last Wednesday at 6pm when I was unavailable. Left me a voicemail asking for me to return her call. I did on Thursday at 3pm. It’s Tuesday and I haven’t heard anything. I’m planning on calling again tomorrow (one full week after).

What happened?? Did they meet their quota of scheduling X amount of interviews and stopped?

Don’t wait for another week. Just call one more time. Or, if you have their email, just send them a note saying that you called them and provide your recent availability to connect.

Agree to disagree 🤷🏻‍♀️ IMO if they really want you they’ll reach out but hey that’s just me

Had a similar incident recently where a recruiter reached out to me with a Calendly link, I scheduled time based on their availability, and they never showed up. Followed up via email, then again, nothing. Followed up the Monday of the next week and was hit with a vacation auto-response. Even sent a connection request on LinkedIn without so much as a whisper of a response.

WTF

Maybe they went on vacation?

Could be anything really. I would just follow up if I were you.

Many thanks.
