Anyone else get ghosted by more than one recruiter at the same agency? Thought I would have better luck when the first recruiter who was notorious for ghosting left but the new one ghosted me too...

I’ve been ghosted by this agency three times now. Gotten very close to getting hired twice. Record was with the first recruiter - came in four times to interview with different staff members before radio silence and completely ignoring my emails for months. Felt really hopeful with the new recruiter but was also dodged after multiple interviews and promises of how I would be perfect for this role especially since I had already met the entire team. I’m totally soured on this agency now and will never apply for a job with them again.

(Name agency, scorched earth)

Yes has happened to me. The last (in house client side) recruiter I spoke with I shared my experiences with communication dropping off in past experience and specifically asked if she could let me know if I’m not moving forward. And she did!

Whoooooo
