Do hiring managers make all of their candidates feel like they are going to be hired? Hiring managers get information about the candidate’s job duties why they are wanting to change positions. They ask about details of layoffs. Some will speak of benefits and references. Then the end result is they ghost you & don’t respond if you follow up with them or they send the generic rejection email. It makes me wonder what are they doing with this valuable information and some information is sensitive.

I think they’re nice when they know they won’t hire you because they don’t want to get sued.

Whenever I felt like the recruiter (or interviewer) liked me, I was ghosted.

Whenever they came off as distant, I got an offer.

It’s funny how it works like that.

Maybe the recruiters are nice if they know you're probably not getting the job because

A) They don't want to hurt your feelings or
B) They don't want you to get discouraged and to keep using their services

It is best practice to sell the candidate when interviewing as a manager. I don’t want to send someone to my boss who won’t take the job.

Only on a rare occasion where the person truly is no where close have I informed them their background isn’t a fit, but there are many considerations you have to be cautious of when rejecting a candidate. For managers it is less hassle to be nice.

A few months ago I interviewed for a trading position.

Can anyone help me wrap my head around this post Series C start-up equity offer? It’s an IP director position, the the base is $170 with 10% bonus (both lower than I was expecting). There’s also an equity component: 0.15% of current fully diluted equity. This equates to about 30000 shares at a strike price of $2. They also indicate the preferred stock price is $6 and preferred stock equity is $188k (whatever that means). They are in the middle of a new financing and valuation round.
