Had a call with a recruiter this past Friday (for a job in media). Thought it went well—she mentioned the hiring managers are busy interviewing for other roles, and that one of them is on personal leave. I haven’t heard any updates since—am I already being ghosted?

You should always reach out 7 days later. This week though is obviously tough given the holiday. I’d reach out next Tuesday (leave her Monday to get back in the work head space). And good luck!

It’s been 2 days AND it’s a holiday week. You haven’t been ghosted. Reach out to follow up midweek next week.

Yep. And if they told you flat out that the HMs were busy with other roles and one of them was on leave, they were setting expectations that you shouldn’t expect to hear back quickly.

Do recruiters and Hiring Managers actually review and read resumes? Also tech companies that sell SaaS, what is it with the requirements of having 10 years or more if technical sales experience? Also the ramp up period is not realistic. Average sales cycle for a reputable SaaS provider is 12-24 months. How on earth a start up can state that their ramp up period is 90 days? The company hasn’t had any new sales either. Start up CEO’s… be realistic or seek enough funding to operate.
