But seriously, why are recruiters here so unprofessional? Nearly every single one meets with you then ghosts you after. Why not just do a simple reply saying they decided not to proceed with you?

People just don't want to be the bearer of bad news.
I once interviewed for a role which went well but didn't get any response/feedback from a French recruiter regarding next steps so I messaged the interviewer directly.
He said, we cancelled the role. Months later, the same recruiter messaged me saying we have another role for you and btw the last role didn't happen.
I am thinking like you could have told me this at that time but you're only telling me now as you need to staff this opportunity.
Recruiters/people behave poorly and then act oblivious or innocent when in need hoping this would maintain their relationships but others remember.

Because they are not smart enough…don’t know how to build a network. They just want to achieve target.

I don’t like the recruiters here one bit, but I think it’s a deeper downstream issue - team leads and directors and executives from this part of the world (of which I’m from) can’t make up their minds, hiring mandates exist one day and the next day they’re gone

They focus on the target, not the candidate

Aka transactional hiring

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)
