Did you check the recruiter’s and company LinkedIn for layoffs?

I was interviewing at a company and was told moving on to final candidates stage… then nothing. Checked Linkedin to see that recruiter and a bunch of other people were laid off

Otherwise it’s not normal just bad recruiting

No layoffs, in fact they are expanding. But it is a really small company, like 50 people, I think they found somebody cheaper and then were embarrassed. That's what it seemed like when I went in.

If better offers come through it might be... Not too many people are putting all their eggs into one basket. It's not wise
Or a better candidate* 😕

I have a feeling they found a cheaper candidate. And that's fine it's the lack of communication that I find so unprofessional of them. I was literally just waiting for a start date.

I think these jobs aren't real 😢 after accepting this offer, they keep telling me they will give me feedback for when to start. It's sad cos I really need the job 😭😔

I do think that is happening, but I had two in person interviews, I met the owners and they even said to my face "let's get you started this week". It's just so bizarre.

Whoa. This is the first I'm hearing of it.

..ghosting from whom? because If you ghosted them after accepting an offer it's common.

If a company can fire you at-will, or never call you back after an interview even if you didn't get the job) you owe them nothing.

That seems to be in my case. I applied, interviewed, background check, drug screen, signed my acceptance letter and no start date yet.

If an employee mentions something disparaging or accusatory about their manager during an exit interview, how would you handle?

If you opt to share the feedback with the manager, would the manager have a legal case against the company or former employee?
