Does Littler have a reputation for ghosting candidates after the interview process without informing them that the firm has moved on to hire someone else? Had call-back interview and heard nothing after more than two weeks. Sent a customary and cordial “follow up email” to the hiring committee. Still, no reply after two days? Weird, or typical?

Yup, this happened to me too.

Sadly this sort of thing is common among all businesses in the year 2021. One would think that technology would make it easy to send email rejections to all candidates eliminated from consideration.

Ever since I’ve been in a position to receive unsolicited resumes, I’ve always made a point of responding. It takes so little effort to send off a “sorry we have no open positions, but we wish you all the best in your search” form letter. If they took the trouble to apply for employment with me, the least I can do is respond and not leave them hanging.

It’s also possible that they are waiting to see if another candidate accepts and clears conflicts before cutting other candidates loose.

Oh I totally agree- mind you I haven’t applied there but I know how it can feel waiting too!

I was ghosted by littler after an interview in January and then they came back in august for another interview (which resulted in an offer 2 days later)
