One of the biggest frustrations I have is the endless back-and-forths just to get a candidate, who you really believe would be an amazing fit, to respond or show up for interviews. You spend hours sorting through resumes, coordinating schedules, and then candidates ghost or cancel last minute. It feels like you’re chasing people who don’t value your time at all. Do you not know a million others are trying to have this job?

I get your frustration, I also think it goes both ways- have you updated every single candidate that has ever interviewed with you?

It is a frustration to have those last-minute cancellations or even to be completely ghosted. It’s still in our favor to go on to the next. Better to know it wasn’t going to work out early and move on.

Candidate ghosting is beyond frustrating; it sometimes feels like half your job is chasing replies that never come. For every one role, a million folks are interested, but finding those who respect the process is like hunting unicorns. Makes you wish they understood the time and energy you put in.

I'm painfully going through this myself. This month I've had more no shows that I have in the last year combined!

Hi everyone!
I have interviews coming up at BD in Maryland and, coming from the hospital world, I have no clue what salary to ask for. The position is a scientist/quality role for microbiology research and development. For context, I have 4 years of experience in a hospital blood bank and am a certified Medical Laboratory Technologist. I was thinking in the 65-70k range, but the recruiter made it seem like that was easily attainable so I’m worried I’m asking too low. Would 75-80k be do-able?
