Any one else having a really hard time communicating with recruiters during the interview process lately? I’m getting ghosted, ignored and/or given misinformation about timelines and next steps. I’ve been on the hiring manager side and know that things change and are equally frustrating but just shocked at how I’m being treated as a candidate for roles I’m being strongly considered for.

The “Tinder effect” has spilled over into recruiting.

How about you apply directly. Talk with the hiring manager. Get last minute (18 mins to be exact) into a call with a colleague to check for culture fit after a week of silence to hear nothing for over a month to then getting contacted again about the same role through a recruiter. Explain what happened and sure, still open to talking, and then getting ghosted once again.

Such a fun game of hide and seek.

🤦🏻‍♀️

Yes to the whole process, the in-house recruiter was fine though.

I did 6 rounds of interview and the deciding factor was never once mentioned nor discussed. Was weird AF.

True, I was love bombed then ghosted. It’s the new normal.

This happened to me for the first time this year, it was shocking

Yep. For how hot the job market is, you think they’d be a bit hungrier.

No excuse for being ghosted but regarding misinformation around timelines, it might just be the time of year. As a recruiter, I HATE this time of year. Everyone is taking PTO and it slows down the process. People interview and then go on vacation for a week without sharing feedback. 🙄

I was recruited hard for a job (wasn’t necessarily looking), then told there was already a loved candidate so asked to move up my interview, okayyy

I did mention I have interest in a specific area with a director last week and it looks like this next director I’m interviewing primarily works in that area.
