I haven't heard back from a recruiter after five rounds of interviews at my dream agency. I've followed up with them twice, but there has been no response. Meanwhile, I've been actively applying to other jobs in NYC but haven't received any interview offers. I don’t know what else to do. It’s demoralizing cause I know I’m not a bad creative. If you know of any CD or ACD openings, let’s chat. I’m also open to relocating—anything to keep growing professionally.

I heard back from them. After two months and countless rounds of interviews, they decided to hire another candidate. Back to square one 😪

Thanks! 🙏🏼

I've heard so many stories like that in the last year or two. It's an employer's market, and boy do they know it. Making someone go through five rounds of interviews and ghost them is just unconscionable. Don't be too hard on yourself, that behavior says more about the jerks at the agency than it does about you.

You are great!

I’m sorry this happening to you. It’s a horrible way of doing business. You can either make a big stink about it OR move on. I’d say do the former. This is happening WAY too often. These people need to be called out otherwise this behavior will never change.
