Happy Friday! Folks who are looking for roles may appreciate and empathize more - I've been through 3-4 companies in these last 3-4 months where they took me through grilling 4-5 loops and told me they will decide in a week or two. However, they never came back and completely ghosted me. During the initial, middle and even loops all the recruitment/scheduling teams were super-responsive. What does the community suggest on followups as I feel burned out from these endless interviews?

Been through the same. I mostly had startup experience before but pivoted to banking as feedback was candidate doesn't have enterprise experience. Still looking for a permanent or contract gig as the bank has exited Canada recently.

Are you reaching out and asking for feedback and they’re still just ghosting you? The main follow-up I do is like a “I’d love to hear any feedback you have to offer me as a candidate, even if you wind up deciding I’m not the best fit for this role.” You can also do one last plug on why you’re a great fit for the company if they’re hiring for other roles or whatever too.

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

I come to find out that deep, hidden within the website of the hypothetical client, they use the service already. Do I roll into the final interview and play dumb or do i present and then come clean?
