I’ve had recruiters enthusiastically reach out, schedule an initial conversation, and then disappear entirely. What am i supposed to do with that? It’s worse than rejection. Do I just move on or keep reaching out? When do you cut it off?

Just stay optimistic and move on with your daily activities..

See yourself accomplishing something more better than any rejection you get now. All great people get snubbed or rejected on their way to the top.

YOU ARE GREAT MY FRIEND!!!

The market is brutally competitive and ghosting has become the new normal. If they contact you again, great, but don't cling on. Just move on and forget about it. In this market it's a numbers game, cast a wide net and hope for a few nibbles.

It is tough. I’ve had a couple of recruiters contact me just this week. Your heart soars and then nothing. Ghosting is unprofessional. If you haven’t heard back in a few days, send a message to check-in.

Otherwise, take the win. You’re getting their attention. One of them might get you to that interview. Just not today.

You move on because they found someone better or more suitable than you. I don’t know what “cut it off “ mean. It’s an outreach, it’s not a guarantee for a job. Get your thinking correct.

Wow. That’s ridiculous that they didn’t appear for a call they scheduled.

While the outcome is very disappointing, I think this situation falls squarely in the “dodged a bullet” category.

I wish you luck on finding a role and company suited for you.

This is continuously also happening to me I feel your pain.

Think of yourself as clickbait.

I just move on if that happens.

Never give up - never surrender. A bird in the hand in=s worth two in the bush. Until you start the job - you don't have the job. The recruiter is ghosting you - move on.
