Normal? Not really. Common? Yes, a lot sadly. Some recruiters don't reach back to let you know if they chose another candidate that clicks better with the company
Yes. Some recruiters ghost candidates if they are not chosen for two main reasons. First, they don't know how to communicate something like that, and second, they don't want to burn the bridge with you if the candidate they chose in the end doesn't meet expectations and they want to change him/her.
Just judging by what my job-hunting friends say, it seems to be a growing problem. Everyone is "looking" because they are short staffed yet no one seems to be actually hiring.
Unfortunately, that's pretty much standard treatment nowadays. I always make a point to send a "thank you for the interview" card in the mail the next day, that way it reminds them I'm an actual person and ups my chances of getting some response at least. Even then, though, a lot of times I don't hear anything.
