A top candidate that I went through a lot to find makes it through three rounds of interviews, then suddenly ghosts us. Not just me, but absolutely any emails, calls, or LinkedIn messages sent from the company's side as well. How do you usually respond to no responses? Move on or keep reaching out till you hear something?

I’ll usually make two or three follow-up attempts over a week or so—email, phone, and maybe a LinkedIn message—just in case there’s a genuine reason for their silence. If there’s still no response, I move on and refocus my energy on other candidates; it’s disappointing, but chasing someone who’s unresponsive rarely leads to a positive outcome for either side.

i agree with this!

I'll move on after a second follow up. If the candidate wanted the job, it wouldnt be this hard to reach them

I made a couple errors at a new job. An important document to be distributed had wrong information on it, which was proofread by 2 other people. Then a couple of typos in emails, the person micromanaging me told me to send out but I didn’t fix the errors. Failed to meet a deadline but completed 95%. I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.
