Anyone else getting ghosted by HR after being basically at the finish line? I’ve interviewed with two different companies and every interview going great. Five interviews in with both and then weeks later seeing they hired someone else on LinkedIn. I’m not mad they hired someone else but annoyed that they never send out an email or call saying they are going in another direction. Seems poor practice and makes me never want to work with them in the future.

I’ve been waiting for two weeks to hear back from a company that wanted to reschedule my final interview with the founders due to a business trip. I had a great experience in the previous interviews, but this doesn't give me good vibes.

I agree; if they decide to hire someone else or cancel the opening, I understand but don't ghost me after telling me you want to introduce me to your parents.

We're not supposed to burn bridges, but companies always do it by not having good communication practices.

For those of you that are citizen / PR. Do you get tons of Singapore recruiters chasing you for roles which are way out of your focus area, getting interviews done only to be ghosted after?

I am so frustrated with job hunting!

She stated she thought for this location I would be out of budget and she didn't want to waste my time so she'd get back to me. 2 days later.

I'm coming to the end of a contract term and being converted to FTE.

The offer was presented to me by the hiring manager and not HR/Recruiter. To me it is a lower base salary offer than expected, so I asked for info on the total compensation package (base, benefits, bonus, stock/rsu, etc.), which I was told about when they took me on under the contract with the intention to convert.

Hiring manager sends me an email with only standard benefits, no bonus, etc. Are these red flags?
