Hi all!

Had 2 interviews in the first half of December for a Product Specialist role, but it's been quiet since the 13th.
I know it's a busy time of year but is it common for a Recruiter to ghost?
I followed up with a Happy Holidays e-mail to no answer and the recruiter no longer has a #Hiring on their LinkedIn profile so I was just wondering if I should take the hint and move on.

Appreciate any and all input!

Unfortunately, recruiters Ghost all the time. I've been thru it. This is what I would do:
1. Contact the Agency & ask to speak to any recruiter. If your recruiter is no longer employed there the will know and will have his/her caseload
2. Look for that same role on other platforms like Indeed & apply. Many companies post open positions on a Portal which allows many recruiters from different companies to submit candidates
3. It's the end of the year & Ghosting or not giving the candidate an update happens a lot at this time. You should begin to receive feedback and offers during the 2nd week of 2022.
4. Keep your head up 🙂. You are in demand. I have a love/hate relationship with recruiters. You will be ok : ). Hope this helps

It’s the holidays, and recruiters are absolutely swamped.
It’s completely normal to not hear.. they’re probably waiting on any updates after your interview. Many Google recruiters simply wait until they have anything to share before responding, otherwise they’d constantly be answering emails with “haven’t heard, I’ll follow up, stay tuned!”

I disagree with T1- Google recruiters do not ghost and applying multiple places will not matter/make a difference, it just weighs down the reviewing process.
