A recruiter messaged me about a job I really wanted, but then completely stopped replying after I sent my info. I followed up with them for a couple of weeks, but they didn't respond. I finally just messaged the hiring manager directly since I liked the company so much, and now I have an interview. If they ask how I got to them, should I mention the recruiter who ghosted me or just keep that part out of it?

Yes. I’d mention it. It’s unprofessional of the recruiter and the company pays them to do just that - recruit talent, and clearly they don’t.

You can mention it, but frame it carefully. Don’t want to seem like you are throwing somebody else down.

You could mention it, but there's really no need. Chances are they won't even ask how you found them. Since the recruiter fell down on the job, I wouldn't say they're owed a commission, so there's no point in bringing them up. Just say someone mentioned the company.

Something to think about... If you awakened tomorrow and your skin was a different color, ask yourself how you might feel and why? Don’t respond directly just think about that. Imagine you are not the enlightened person you are. 😬

Answer this: What does that say about what has become subconsciously engrained within most of us?
