I recently interviewed for my dream job at a dream company. The interview went well, the HR colleague followed up to let me know that from the interviewer (department head for the role). But then HR contacted me a couple weeks after to say they are have a hiring freeze. Is it weird if I contact the interviewer or add them on LinkedIn to keep in touch and so they know I’m still interested? I’ve not really done this before so any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

No it’s not weird. If I really like the role or recruiter I’ll email back saying I’d love to keep in touch for future opportunities, thank them for being helpful through the process, say I added them on LinkedIn and link mine in the email. I’ve had recruiters add me back before. Didn’t led to a job for me but it’s nice to keep for future in case

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up.

This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?
