I was being offered a position with a company with a team of talent reviewers and it turns out that they did an internal hiring instead and never reached out to me at all. I anticipated this move from the get-go so I was actively seeking other offers. Then this morning, the same company calls and asks if I’m still interested in the offer?!? What in the hell is that all about?

Personally, I would avoid a firm like that. It seems like there’s a bit of mismanagement going on.

I ran into the same thing recently and passed on the opportunity, don’t regret it one bit. Sometimes it’s safer to stay at your current role and look for a better fit, then jump ship to something worse

I think that is some good advice and I will have to follow. My current position is not panning out as I expected. It is predominantly a management issue. I have been looking and got an interview for a new position but I am not very excited about it because it is a contract position and I feel like I will just be in the same situation.

It could be that the person they were looking to hire internally was also keeping their options open. So most likely they backed off. In my experience, it happens all the time though I’m concerned about ‘they never reached out to me’ part of this - how long did they ghost you for? If it’s within 1-2 months, it shouldn’t be a concern but if it’s longer, then maybe something is wrong.
