Until you have an offer in hand, you keep filling the pipeline and moving things forward. I've had lots of people ghost, just means the fit wasn't right, try not to dwell. I'm supposed to start a job on Monday (had 3 offers), and I'm still entertaining recruiters in case something falls through or just to have contacts for the future.
Use your network best you can, update your LinkedIn so recruiters have something to go on and turn on job alerts, focus on what your fit to the job market is (not shotgunning jobs you think you could do, but those your resume actually supports).
It's really going to depend on your resume tbh. I have a pretty straightforward, contiguous story that makes sense, and I think that goes a long way. Interview prep was almost all from big transformations I EM'd, people like hearing about $xxM portfolios.
In the end my pipeline was mostly incoming recruiters and network, 2 offers from network and 1 from recruiters. I withdrew from several processes as well, all network or recruiter. Cold applying was by far the worst, prob 3-5% conversion at best just for interview. Maybe 15-20 interviews total.
Same. Was even ghosted after 4 interviews, in which the hiring leader was the 3rd interview. Strange considering they moved me forward to meet a team member.
op tldr - giving feedback can open people up to being harassed or sued
i saw a recruiter post about this on LinkedIn and it makes sense to me. people are hella stressed in this job market frfr
keep your head up. i saw a really good post with reasons that recruiters go cold and how to cope or avoid where you have influence
