If you don’t hear back from a recruiter after a couple weeks, do you follow up with them or just accept they’re probably ghosting you? I had an interview about 3 weeks ago and still haven’t heard anything. It’s so frustrating because it would be so easy for the recruiter to just tell me they’re going another direction and give me some closure.

I would assume that they selected another candidate, but one time this happened to me and they actually just got too busy to hire someone! After I accepted another offer and was in the process of starting another job, I got a call from them saying they wanted me! I told them it was too late, and I already went in another direction and they begged me! If you want the job badly, I would reach out and ask if they selected a candidate yet. If you don’t want the job that badly, I would just assume they hired someone else.

I’d send one polite follow-up, especially since it’s been three weeks. After that, I’d mentally move on and keep applying. It’s frustrating because even a quick generic update would be better than silence, but unfortunately ghosting seems pretty common now.

I saw that if someone passes at least the CFA level 1 exam then the requirement of CSC is exempted. Can anyone enlighten me about this? As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.
