Follow up. Candidly, there is a good likelihood you were rejected, but it could also be that they submitted you and didn't hear back from the firm. It is the recruiters job to follow up with the firm, but you showing interest will increase the likelihood they actually do their job. I hate when recruiters ghost, because it makes the industry look bad. Sometimes though it is just human error so there is no harm in following up.
Agree!
Internal recruiters or external?
I think they should at least send an email even if it’s a rejection. Ghost people is so disrespectful
Thank you for asking this question! I was just about to write a similar question as I was ghosted by a couple of recruiters this week alone. We set up appointments to talk and when I reached out to two of them by email, I received no response.
For me, it makes me question how legitimate the job was and/or the recruiter’s interest in talking to me about the job.
Some business writer out there should write a deeply reported book on the recruiting industry. It's hard to understand the motivations in the industry when looking at it from outside. Recruiters do tend to show up, talk a great game, get people interested and even excited, and then vanish. It's weird! There must be something about the business model that makes that work, though it seems puzzling.
It’s saturated with several that are not good, and give the amazing ones a bad name. I’m a believer you should be a former lawyer to do this
It doesn’t hurt to follow up
