I’m not saying anything that hasn’t been said 1 million times here, but if you’ve interviewed somebody, you owe them an email.

I don’t care if it’s five rounds or one round. Respond to them with some sort of status, even if that status is “we don’t know yet.”

HR/Recruiting professionals actually hate the cattle they wrangle. They don’t see us as humans deserving of closure.

I no longer treat recruiters as actual people. I send them templated, AI generated responses, that way I don’t get disappointed when they ghost me. Too many times has a recruiter just simply treated me as potential recruit 247456-B. I return the favor.

You’re one step ahead of the game sir.

Couldn’t agree more. Had a great interview a month ago, was told to keep the conversation open as they could see me in multiple positions. Sent an email, no response. Follow up call at the month date and ghosted.

Is that email personalized or can it be a templated reply? Serious question.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!

Does anyone else feel like people who are generally nice in person and on calls sound mean or stand-offish in emails and text/chat? I get that over-use of friendliness in text can come off as green/immature, but I tend to try and cushion my words with positivity or even exclamation marks/the occasional emoji to show that I don't sound completely unemotional.

Or maybe i'm just an overthinking copywriter who's reading into it too much.
