Anyone else get ghosted from Publicis? I got ghosted after 4 interviews. I followed up twice over 3 weeks and have gotten no response. Kinda crazy given everyone seemed to be really interested and I’d worked with the recruiter in the past. I get that jobs open and close a lot these days but seems unprofessional to just ignore.

90% companies will ghosted for unmatch candidates.

makes me thankful then that they NEVER responded to my application (even if it makes me look inept), at least I did not get my hopes up only to get it dashed down again

Glad to know it wasn't just me! Very different experience from when I contracted with them 4 years ago.

I have been ghosted from numerous agencies. Today I interviewed on the client side and when the interview was winding down she asked if I had any further questions… I asked if she thought my experience was aligned with her expectations and she said and I quote: “we are looking at other candidates, someone that I feel would fit within our team”. I took that as a hard NO, to my question. 😳😢

wtf 😔

Yes. Twice.

Yes, twice by 2 different recruiters that had reached out to me

Yes, I've applied 4 times and not a peep. They are crossed off my list unless I can find a concrete, verifiable lead. Otherwise, they are done.

Hi Fishes,

I have attended two interviews with cognizant for the same role. From that, I have got an offer letter from one panel and I am discussing with the HR about to make some salary revise.
Unfortunately, the second panel also processed my profile and it got short listed and they come back for a talk to process the offer letter. Now the first panel HR called me and asked about the second process why it got happened.
Does this results in any drawback for the offer letter i have got already?
