Recruiters are coming in at about 80% ghost rate average.

@copy1 - Yeah, recruiters are the worst people.

It happens. A lot. Their excuse is that they like to leave you hanging vs. outright rejecting you (in case something comes up later). That and they’re likely lazy and careless too.

But it all just adds stress and it would be super helpful and human if people could craft some tiny, truthful response instead of the power trip.

I actually don’t mind “form” rejections. At least I know where I stand.

90%. And that doesn’t include the ones that respond to me one time and not another

80 to 90% when cold emailing. Sucks when you know they opened your email and probably your book but couldn't even shoot you back a "Nah."

Added!

Every single time... for years

Ignored 95% of the time. Ghosted about 30% of the time after interviewing with at least a recruiter once.

90%

My question is, does it happen the same amount, no matter what level you're at?

I know I am underpaid, but my leaders are forcing me to work on multiple projects, for which I am getting anxiety even before working or denying.
What is the solution? Provided I don't want to switch & increase salary just to provide more tax to govt or the work may increase more too.
I need 100% job stability, which only PwC can provide.
Genuine advice needed!!
