What’s great is when you’re more senior and THEY reach out to YOU and then ghost you

Nope, I’m about 4 years in and have been ghosted at least 3 times in the last month. That’s their loss and most times, you’ve dodged a bullet.

Being a serial ghoster is THE most important skill of a successful recruiter. If they get back to you, you are dealing with an amateur.

Sadly, everyone goes through that!

Don't take is personally. It happens to all of us, all the time.

Yes, their behavior is not acceptable but common!

Sad to say, this has become the norm for in house recruiters.

Judging from LinkedIn posts, it seems they’re definitely busy getting new roles for themselves.

It really sucks that this is basically industry standard - but I feel a lot better knowing it’s not just me. Thanks y’all !
