I’ve had interviews with 4 different companies over the past two weeks - combinations of recruiter calls, HR screens, second rounds, etc. I was ghosted by each of the 4 companies after interviewing. Some even ended with “reach out if you don’t hear from me by X date” but have received no responses to my emails. Is this a new thing? I’ve interviewed with dozens of companies over the years but have never been ghosted after interviewing, and now it happened with 4 different companies.

Normal. Sad truth for the state of this market. Short term thinking that may not translate well when the market turns.

yes normal in today’s market..recruiters create pipeline benches too

Hi HR Professionals! I am revising our current employment application form. Per SHRM, I was just curious if any HR Professionals completely removed the following fields: social security number, recommend salary, graduation dates, military discharge info, race, maiden name like (Ms. Mrs. Ms), & criminal history questions. I was just curious what other Employers/HR Professional have done. Any information is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)
