Man up recruiters and send a reject email instead of ghosting and ignoring follow up emails. Sigh!

This is literally killing me emotionally. I question everything after receiving 6 months of ghosting by recruiters. In these scenarios I may interview once, twice, even six times with one particular company. I have no more mental energy.

When I check my status on the applicant tracking system it states “Interview.” Either they aren’t updating statuses or keeping me around in case who they really want doesn’t pan out. I have no clue. I’m sorry this is happening to both of us.

I'm so sorry that happened. I hate when recruiters to that--I understand that talk to a lot more people everyday than I do but still.

Totally agreed, I understand it might slip out of mind once, but ignoring follow up emails requesting status update reflects poorly on them and the company

It's like dating, but more expensive of a loss.

Agreed it’s like dating, but when a candidate is interviewing and has already completed 2 rounds investing 3+ hours, while taking time off from current job, a closure is a good work ethic.

Right! How hard is it to send a generic response at least?

My best friend took a year off work and just traveled around South America with just a backpack and duffle bag of essentials. He spent about $5 to $10 a night at local hostels and food costs cheaper at local restaurants and shops. He spent roughly $500 a month on room and board. Aside from activities like bungee jumping or live sports events, most of the other activities costs little to nothing. Debating on saving up and just escape for a bit just like that.

Has anyone else had a really hard time online dating with Covid? I’m aware things are getting better but I prefer to do outdoor first dates to be on the safe side. No judgement to anyone that does differently. It’s just what I feel comfortable with. I’ve had a few guys tell me they won’t do outdoor dates for some reason… some have cited weather but others legit say no (in 70 weather) because it’s a hassle & “Covid is a joke.” Please tell me if this is normal.

When it comes to your job search:

1) How often/much do you get feedback from recruiters or whoever you just spoke with? Feels like we're always in the dark. One way feedback street.

2) Who do you like to work with? Headhunters vs internalrecruiters? Is the experience different?

3) Have you had to align your interviews so that the offers would come in close/same day? What's your strategy?

4) What's your process in weighing [multiple] offers? If that ever happens? Where do you keep your notes?

I will be doing someheavy recruiting for Product Managers. Having a hard time with the existing team to persuade them that the uniqorns they are looking for dont exist. They are fixated that unless someone does not know to work agile or have tech specific experience they dont want to see them. Some of the questions also they have for candidates are an imitation of big corp companies like google, facebook etc. I am a big advocate on giving chances and trying to get through to them. Any ideas?

Q: for FAANG recruiters, do candidates get a reject stamp after failing even at the later stages?
I advanced to the last stage at
Facebook (Meta) around a year ago but failed on my last interview, a combination of not being familiar with the process and not having chemistry with the interviewer.
A friend who is a hiring manager recently recommended me and this time without even a HR call I received a straight up thanks but no thanks email.
Does this mean I’ve been permanently black listed?
