Does everyone experience flakiness from recruiters? They’ll reach out about a job I didn’t apply for, get me interested, have phone calls, say they’ll schedule a CD interview and then ghost me forever

Unfortunately it usually means your book didn’t click with the CD’s I think. I am pretty tight with my recruiter at work and their job is to find a BUNCH of people who are interested and then field them through. If you get ghosted it is usually bc you or your book wasn’t right for the brand they are hiring under. The recruiter doesn’t hire you. The CD’s and ECD’s do. Sucks... but happens. I’m sorry dude.

If that's the case AD1, then they should just send potential books to the CD before reaching out to candidates. Out of that group someone is bound to say yes. Better than wasting people's time.

(Cont.) this has happened to me several times over the last 2 years. We’ll talk on the phone more than once and they’ll act super impressed and then they ghost. I reach back out and I’m met with radio silence. Hope this isn’t just me and recruiters are just like this nowadays?

I am far along in the interview process for a job I want (meeting with Chief Legal Officer next week), but am still accepting other interviews until I have a formal offer.

Should I let the recruiter know that now, or just do the interview for more “practice”? Thanks!
