Hi all! I’ve been looking actively for a new role, and when recruiters reach out, I respond back to connect and discuss over a call, then they ghost me. Is the job market slow right now ? Is it easier to just get referrals to do interviews ? Thanks

These recruiters are most likely mass messaging as they always do. Just something to consider.

Makes sense.. !

Those recruiters probably don’t have a job opening for you but are using your resume as someone they have for employers. They do this a lot. Find an awesome resume and send the summary to employers without a name to get the employer to bite.

Ok got it, this makes sense ! Thank you !

Applying directly in a tight economy is probably the way to go. That way they don’t have to shell out for the recruiter’s fee.

They are likely sending it to everyone in their network, and then looking at those who respond to determine if they would actually be a good fit.

Hello,
Any HR from Accenture who can consider my profile for Qliksense developer (6years experience). I have been trying for this company for more than 2 years now but not even a single interview was scheduled. Worse part is if the profile is already in the system, it doesnot consider it for other jobs. I can see a lot of postings in job site but cannot apply in those.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

PwC 🐠, I interviewed with the firm about 6 months ago for a Senior Associate position on the forensics team. I wasn’t extended an offer because the position was given to an internal transfer, at least what I was told. I tried reaching out to the recruiter I worked with last time but the email bounced back and wouldn’t be delivered. I was hoping to see / reapply if the group still was looking for seniors.

In your opinion, would it be best to reapply as a cold application?
