This agency recruiter is supposed to schedule my next round of interviews. She asked for my availability for a specific day then when I responded, she never confirmed. Just MIA. Should I keep trying?

Update: recruiter emails, “team finally confirmed, you’re all set!”

Yes, that would be nuts. Definitely email her again and call if you have her number. If you don’t have her direct line, call the agency number and ask for her. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. Wish I could be of more help to you!

Definitely follow up. I had a recruiter schedule an interview with five CDs and forget to tell me. I was rescheduled the next week, but found out from the last CD I interviewed with that she told them I cancelled at the last minute the week before. Not true! Can’t help but think that hurt me in the process. It was a dream job, which I didn’t get (was ghosted by all after the interview). Can’t help but think my “cancelling” contributed to me being passed on. It’s been six years and I still hurt from missing out on that opportunity

like

CW2: that’s awful, and I’m so sorry that happened to you. Ugh.
OP: If this isn’t your first round, do you have the emails to anyone you interviewed with previously? If so, you should reach out to them. This sucks, and it’s exactly why so many people hate recruiters

@Recruiter 1- can I come work with you?
If I hadn’t followed up and nailed down the time today, who knows what would’ve happened.
Since I Project Managed my interview then maybe I can Project Manage a salary increase, extra vacation days and a sailboat from that agency.
You’re obviously great at your job and a good person, so you’re keeping the recruiter hope alive!

@Recruiter 1 - I’m sorry that happened to you. Since I’ve been on FB, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the support and kindness of some ppl here, yourself included.
Then there are times where the first person to reply to a sincere question is an insecure douchebag who wants nothing more than to tear other ppl down.
I like to focus on the good folks here, and I hope you continue to provide your opinion because you may be helping someone who truly needs it.

Ha! saw that, R1. Just someone deflecting from their ‘dumb questions.’ Don’t even bother.

like

@ACD 1- the limbo is the worst. ghosting is unprofessional and weak, so if we get ghosted, we’re better off not working at these places. That stance doesn’t pay the bills but it’s something. Keep me posted, fingers crossed for you!
