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?

Wanted to reach a wide audience

Hey, another question for y’all. How should I reach out to a recruiter who offered me a full time position but I rejected for a better offer?

How would you approach this situation? Thanks in advance!!

Is this okay?

Hi fishes, Need your guidance to choose from below companies. Nagarro, Cvent, Fiserv

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??
