Is this happening more often than not?

Recruiter out of the blue... emails you excited about how great your background is for a specific role and requests a meeting.

The confirmation to the meeting includes a request for your resume... the recruiter cancels at the last minute then ghosts you.

I feel like they’re fishing for candidates to see what’s out there

I get ghosted all the time as well

My thinking is that they assumed certain things based on your profile but when reviewing your resume they felt, actually you were not a fit for what they were looking for and so cancelled the call ..which is really poor form on their part

I agree it is poor.
My thought was, if after speaking with the recruiter, should I be interested and feel the position is a good match I would share my resume.

Hi Fishes,
I had given interview for network security architect position in Feb last week. And as per recruiter, I got selected for that role. I have been asked to share the documents on March 1st. I did a few followup for the offer letter update and they asked me 2 wait for 2-3 weeks. And now they are saying position has gone on hold after I did another followup.
Could it be because of expected salary ?

What are your thoughts about having to take an iq/personality assessment tests? It seems so outdated to me. I don’t think it predicts how you will truly perform at a job. I took a test like this for a startup once and they were concerned about my ability to speak up or behave in social settings. This was completely false. I present, interview clients, demo products, and facilitate meetings for a living. So what if I go home and shut down after work? I’m exhausted from speaking all day!
