Is it the norm now to ghost candidates after they have been interviewed instead of responding that they didn’t get the job? After 2 great interviews I thought I had a position but the manager doesn’t even respond when I try to follow up. The interview seemed to go great and I was perfectly qualified for it, so I would at least appreciate some feedback if I didn’t get the position. The manager was only 30 years old so could that have something to do with it? Any advice would be appreciated!

I don’t think it’s the norm, and it sucks that some recruiters do this. The human element is being sucked out of talent acquisition and I hate it. As a recruiter I make it a point to follow up and tell folks that we won’t be moving forward. It’s no skin off my back. As much as it’s sucks sometimes to get bad news, most people actually appreciate it, as they can proceed with either focusing on applying to other jobs or trying to fix what ever the issue was, and improve on whatever the issue if it was shared. When I get calls from agencies I always ask them to email me or don’t be afraid to call and let me know if I didn’t make the cut. (Most don’t ) by me telling them that, I hope it will let them know that I am not oppose to knowing/getting bad news. I know what it is to be both the recruiter and the candidate, and I know that being open frank and genuine is important in both scenarios.

What are the chances of getting a lower offer because you're POC applying at a fairly large law firm? Not big law or anything but still.

Hi everyone,
I relocated with my family to Ireland recently, one month ago, and while I got a lot of screening calls with recruiters, I did not hear back from any of them after our interview. I am still on the process of getting my work permit and I am very clear about this during the interviews, but I suspect that this is the reason why I am not getting any call back. Any tips on the first screening call with recruiters? Should I touch base with them after our interviews?

Am I particularly uptight, or is writing meant to be done alone, without a partner talking to you? With past partners, we chat through script notes and then I go off to execute. Current partner likes to sit and chat as I write. To me, writing is crafting a conversation. So I can’t talk to you and simultaneously talk to this audience. Of course I can just say “I’m gonna go write.” But since we’re both CD level, I’m like…is this his first rodeo? Maybe other writers are different though.
