Should I assume a company isn't interested if recruiter ghosts? Context: a firm recruiter reached out to me and organised two interviews with a partner and principal. The partner interview was a 30 mins conversation where we walked through my CV (not a fit interview though). For the principal interview, I log on and see the recruiter who gives me a random excuse why principal won't join and said we'll reschedule. It's been almost 2 weeks and I haven't heard back.

just ask for an update? likely principal is tied up

Did. No response

Its either because the company is completely disorganized/badly managed or they just aren't interested.

In either circumstance, that's a HUGE red flag.

If its badly managed to the point where they can't even do interviews, then you can only imagine what its like to work for these people.

Food for thought

Wait why did u tag 4 companies? Did you had the same situation with all of them?

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

I spoke with a recruiter recently about a position in her company and before we even began talking about the job, she asked if I needed an sponsorship, I told her no, I dont need one. But she continued to press on the subject until I had to tell her I was a US citizen. I dont know why, but the whole conversation made me extremely uncomfortable. So my question is, can recruiters ask you about your visa/immigration status even when I told her I didnt need a sponsorship??

This was 1 week ago and I have still not received any call. Has anyone else faced the same issue? And if yes, should I even expect a call fro HR?

Are virtual interviews better than in-person?

Had a first round interview scheduled for a large CPG brand. My interviewer never called me, and I emailed following up to confirm the call. It’s been over a day and no response. What is going on with recruiters? I tried giving them the benefit of the doubt, but not even an email back saying “something came up” or “we’ve moved on” ? I’ve been ghosted after every final interview during my recent job search, but never had I been ghosted before even having the first call??
