How do you feel about a recruiter having #opentowork reaching out to you about an opportunity at their firm?

The very idea of creating this post came out of that conundrum. I have a hiring status set and they reached out to me about a role in their firm. I even thought if this was a 4d chess at trying to get me to reach out to them🤦🏻‍♂️

I think they just forgot to switch it off when they got the new role

I thought the whole idea of publicly putting that status was you didn’t have a job? Otherwise your boss could see it.

The key is to leave it on all the time so when you are ready for another gig no one at your current firm questions you.

I’ve made it to the 3rd round interviewing at three different firms over the past month, and the feedback I’m getting has all been very similar: they think I’m really great, but it’s not the right time. Why spend 4-6 hours interviewing me just to say there isn’t actually a current role for me? Should I be reading between the lines (if so what does it mean?) or pressing harder for more detailed feedback?

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?
