Anyone else been ghosted from a Reddit IT Recruiter? I've applied more than several times with them and I finally get email asking for my availability, only to be ghosted. I've sent several emails and even sent messages on LinkedIn to a couple recruiters without any responses. Not very respectful to give any kind of update.

I haven't had this experience with a Reddit recruiter specifically, but I've just generally had the worst recruiter experiences over the last year. There's always some initial outreach on their end, I'll respond promptly, and then radio silence despite multiple follow-ups. It’s so annoying, I've learned to stop trusting them.

I think that experience isn't uncommon, though I wouldn't know about Reddit specifically. I get the sense that recruiters typically cast a very wide net but they only wind up working with a small number of people. And once you've been winnowed out, they feel they have no obligation to communicate with you, or even show common courtesy.

You do realize it's a scam and it's another way scammers can get your personal information

That's it! Discredit a senior IT individual for being dumb with a spam email and not the company who ghosted them. Not to mention that my internal Reddit referral also received the same email. Go away with your condescending response.

I feel that people treat you so differently now when it’s all online and impersonal. It was not that way when all interviews and applications were in person.

I'm panicking. We just adopted a 12 week old kitten. My 12 year old cat is pissed at me. My dog wants to be friends with the cats, but the cats are less than enthused. I'm keeping the new kitten in the bathroom when they can't all be supervised. What was I thinking? We can't give the kitten back because my toddler is in love. Please tell me it will be OK.
