How do you let a recruiter know you're no longer interested in moving forward with a call you scheduled with them? After doing research, I found out the company that reached out is really toxic

You don't. You take the call and learn from What they say and what they ask and practice your interview skills and develop future professional connections.

Seems like a waste of everyone’s time. Do your research prior to agreeing to a call

You could take the call and ask for a really high salary from that place just to see what happens and sharpen your negotiation/interviewing skills

You can either have the call and practice your interviewing skills, and then tell them you decline to proceed, or just tell them upon further thought it’s not the right time and sorry to have scheduled a call.

You could be honest and say that after further research, you’re no longer interested. OR, take the call, hear them out, ask a few questions. If they offer you the job, take some time, “to think about it” and come back and say no.

I had a first interview last Tuesday with Amazon, which I think went well, although I still haven't heard back 6 days later and then got an OOO annual leave msg and a no response when I chased up the named colleague today. Is this typical behaviour others have experienced when dealing with the big tech company recruiters? I found Google and Facebook recruiters to be efficient and TikTok so-so, if not a little slow, but 6 days+ seems poor.

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?

Cleared Accenture Skill interview by answering almost all the questions and received congratulatory mail for HR round and submitting all documents. Then after a week received a call from HR saying that due to some technical issue, the skills round will happen again and an online assessment was set up. In the assessment, questions which were not directly related to the profile were asked and then a rejection mail was received. Does this happen a lot?
