@Recruiters, why do you ghost? Is it really that hard to send someone a quick email. ☹️

I have never seen a sector of the job industry where the person fails so often at the most basic tenants of their job. It is literally you job. No one likes giving bad news, but if you can’t bear to even send a canned rejection response, find another line of work IMO.

This same post happens often, and there's no response from recruiters ever, and I just savor that kind of irony.

Just so you know, every recruiter on Fishbowl has read this and is following... silently.

PS for any single project I receive about 30 emails a day that I am required to read and act upon...plus so my work. So the "I get sooo many emails" excuse is lame.

There is an Ask a Recruiter bowl where many answer a lot of questions. Word of advice in any situation where you're motivated by frustration - be mindful of the language you use and how you communicate if you are interested in getting thoughtful or helpful responses. An accusatory or passive aggressive tone does not lead to any productive dialogue and makes it only about you versus trying to understand another's POV and what it's like to walk in their shoes

They are just HR folks when you get right down to it. The middle man who looks for buzzwords (agency names) and then forwards links that look and sound like what they've already got in-house. Better to just skip them all together.
