Lol same thing happened to me. Went through 4 or 5 rounds of interviews and out of the blue got ghosted!

These clowns reached out to me 5 months after “hey we have a job opportunity we’d like to talk to you about”.

Told them to go take a walk. Blacklisted.

Oh yeah. They even ghosted the recruiter I was working with.

Had what had to be the best call with a recruiter I’ve ever had — she seemed so excited to pass my work to her teams, received the sweetest follow up email from her, but now it seems like she’s ghosting me. UGHHHHH. Any words of wisdom or advice? Feeling bummed because I was super excited about this opportunity.

Ghosting after on-site interviews is despicable. Recruiting has been a part of my job for years in addition to resourcing & project management, and I would always manage to reply emails.

Sadly a lot of recruiters are unemployed and being ghosted themselves.

Hopefully this pandemic will open the eyes of some on the practice of ghosting...
