Happened to me twice that a recruiter messages me on LI, I respond a few hours later with availability(is that too long) and then there's no reply. 🤔 Any idea why??

This happens to people every single day. I don't know why it happens but some recruiters are so bad about ghosting and it drives me insane. Especially when they reached out to me and I respond and then they ghost.

I mean most recruiters are fielding dozens of applications every day, so it could just be that they haven't had the chance to reply to you yet. I wouldn't give up hope, they could still get back to you. Maybe follow up in a day or two if you don't get a reply. Good luck.

Some recruiters are going for quantity, and essentially contact more people than they expect to hear back from. So I imagine if they get a lot of responses it takes time to move through them. You should check in again, and if you feel like you're being ghosted, chalk it up to experience.

Could it be that they just have multiple other messages to go through? How specific were you with your availability? A nice follow-up with a time to talk shows interest. You can politely reach back out to see if they still have time to go over the opportunity with you.

Yep I replied with day and time 🤷‍♀️

Thanks everyone! I heard back this morning 🤷‍♀️🤣

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you

So I've been applying for jobs with various brands who are owned by the same parent company. They are all separate brands but owned by the same company.

I’ve noticed that HR, when explaining why a candidate didn’t get the job, tend to lean on “You’re great, but we had candidates with more experience in [skill relevant to the job].” I do believe this is true in some cases, but it can’t possibly be for all of them.

HR folks — what feedback have you obscured by offering that line instead?
