I’ve interviewed three times with two separate employers. Both have now appeared to have ghosted me in response to my candidacy. Is this the new normal, or are employers hesitant about hiring during COVID and are simply exploring the market? How long do I wait before contacting them a second time before writing off the opportunity?

Sadly I think ghosting has been in practice long before covid. Possibly because no one likes to deliver bad news about no longer being considered, possibly because there are just more important tasks for the HR team.

Stay positive and keep searching / applying.
