Good Morning,

Is anyone else not getting any feedback from your applications?

I have over 100 applications out over 4 platforms and I am not getting any feedback. Maybe a handful of “no.”

I thought it was the professional thing to do was to give the applicant an answer instead of just silence. But also I guess silence is an answer as well.

I understand it can take a few weeks to review but it has been over a month or so for some of my applications.

I put in hundreds of applications I had interviews. They say they’ll get back to me on and they do not others have been interviews when I get the job offer. The pay is a third of what they discussed in the interview process so I’ve turned them down others I’ve had declining letters at 2 AM and 3 AM saying they went a different direction or they picked another candidate which tells me that no human I ever saw it, it was my age on here. Others are having the same problem. I can keep applying someone. Reads my resume

As strange as it may seem, yours is not an uncommon experience. A lot of people report being ghosted when applying for jobs, some even after initial contacts and interviews. It used to be the polite, and perfectly normal, thing to treat people applying for jobs with respect. But the general collapse of polite behavior in society at large has sadly become standard in business.

I think this is totally true. It's like how people started ghosting when dating apps became popular. We're all somewhat estranged and alienated from each other, separated by screens, and I think people feel less accountability to show one another respect. Not to mention that most jobs I see posted online have hundreds, even thousands, of applicants, so I think the desperate job market is adding to this problem

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
