Also it doesn’t hurt to email them back up to three times. Leave a week or so in between and be polite. Often they’ll apologize and thank you. They get literally hundreds of emails every day

Was it your first recruiter? It happens a lot..... they can be unintentional jerks. :( sucks when it happens after multiple interviews. Keep your head up.

It was my first recruiter and I was really excited about the job too so it’s a double whammy :( maybe it wasn’t meant to be? But I’m totally emailing one more time just for some ~closure~ 🤞🏼

FOR THE FIRST TIME?! ok bye.

I recently had an interview with HCL and cleared 2 rounds of technical interview. I waited for a week for HR call but no such call was received. I then contacted the POC who scheduled the interview (he is an HCL employee) and he said that I have been shortlisted and will receive HR call shortly. This was 1 week ago and I have still not received any call. Has anyone else faced the same issue? And if yes, should I even expect a call fro HR?

Cold applied for an awesome role, had an interview with hiring manager, recruiter, and given a pretty hefty assignment that I’m really proud of nailing. They followed up with an email asking for 4-5 days that I am available for a full day of interviews. Gave them 4-5 days, started planning for how I’d get those days off work during insane times at current job, and now not a single word from them to confirm a date. Been over a week now. Sad. Pretty jaded. What can I do? Already followed up
