Job-interview ghosting has become surprisingly common, even after strong early conversations. Recruiters are often overwhelmed or dealing with shifting priorities, so they stop communicating instead of sending a proper update. While it’s unprofessional, many companies now treat silence as a default “no.” The best approach is to follow up once or twice, then move on without taking it personally.

That is exactly how it feels. You give time, energy, hope, and then nothing. I try not to take it personally, but the shift from engaged to invisible is still rough.
Standard to go radio silent and never hear from them again. I can’t keep track of how many promising interviews and calls I’ve had, all for them to result in nothing.

Same experience here. Strong calls that just evaporate into nothing. It is wild how normal it seems to be now, even though it still stings every time.
Frustrating is the nicest word I can think of when it comes to the behaviors of recruiters. In the past 2 months, myself and other job seekers have noticed an alarming trend; recruiters contact you urgently(even offer to spice up your resume), will tell you you're the best fit, send your profile to HR/hiring manager and then nothing.. Follow up occurs only with from us candidates - if we get a response, it's usually something along the lines of "haven't heard", "they are still reviewing applicants", "should know something in a few days", "thanks for reaching out, i'll contact them for an update and get back to you", or no response. For folks like me and other job seekers, it's frustrating since some of us are trying to find a job not only for the betterment of themselves but also for their family.
It is very common. I applied online and got contacted asking for my schedule for an interview. Responded back quickly with several options and no reply. This was a small company.
