Everyone’s fav name & shame time for recruiters who ghost people!
interviewed with Squarespace for their in-house creative role, asked for a salary range and recruiter said they “don’t have it right now” and asked me to give my range instead. I did, and they never got back to me after that call, despite even saying they will put me with the hiring manager the following week.

Nothing surprising but just want to share yet another negative experience with recruiters

Thank you. Not enough calling out these companies/recuiters.

The guy who had the Squarespace CD job passed away this summer. Very sad. But it is not a new role so they most certainly know the salary!

Publicis ghosted me 3 times over the last year after interviews, including last week. Merkley & Partners ghosted me 2 weeks ago too.

I keep a list of names of the recruiters who do it so if I’m ever in a position where by I’m asked to weigh-in on them being hired, I’ll recommend they be rejected and ghosted instead.

Tinuiti did this to me, and they reached out to me!!!! Like don’t reach out, have two interviews and then fade.

Attn: in LA ghosted me after 2 interviews.

Recruiter at Meta’s Creative X did this to me. The worse part is, she reached out to me first for a role I didn’t apply for. After we had the initial call, and seem like a fit and got me interested… quiet. Why?

All companies can afford to sponsor. Most just choose not to.

Evoke = Recruiter mole. 160 candidate interviews a month? Bullsh-t.
