Anyone ever ask not to be ghosted during job interviews? Like asking the recruiter to let you know either way?

I outed a recruiter on LI who was posting fake outrage directed at his colleagues for the “unacceptable practice” of ghosting. Yet he had ghosted me on several job searches through the years despite my attempts to follow up for post-interview feedback or position status. Very satisfying to see his public sniveling and excuse making.

I ask this straightforwardly all the time with freelance projects and I’m sure you can guess what happens next usually ha.

I never use the word ghosted but I do say please let me know good or bad so I can keep moving forward with other opportunities because for the past nine months I’ve gotten a lot of “are you interviewing with other companies? If so where are you in the process?” I’m usually honest. Since I’ve started asking only one recruiter has ghosted me.

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!

Is this even legal? Any alternatives options are appreciated
