What could cause a recruiter to not respond back after reaching out for times for an initial phone interview? All I responded back was my schedule and never heard back

The recruiter probably cast a wide net, since she might have to email 20 people to get 10 responses sometimes (or however many candidates make it to the initial phone call)

This time, in this job market, more people might be looking for a job, and you weren’t in the top of the ones who responded.

Or maybe they had a role and something happened with budget—lost a client, holding company implemented a hiring freeze etc.

A lot can happen, and rarely is the problem going to be the candidate’s response to scheduling a call, so I wouldn’t take it personallt

Why even bother asking availability and not respond? They are ghosting candidates after asking for their time. What a ridiculous method.

When did they first reach out and how long has it been since you responded with your availability? Recruiters are stretched thin more than ever these days, so it could just be they are busy with a large amount of candidates to uodate or get back to, no matter what the update is.

I’ve noticed that HR, when explaining why a candidate didn’t get the job, tend to lean on “You’re great, but we had candidates with more experience in [skill relevant to the job].” I do believe this is true in some cases, but it can’t possibly be for all of them.

HR folks — what feedback have you obscured by offering that line instead?

Cold applied for an awesome role, had an interview with hiring manager, recruiter, and given a pretty hefty assignment that I’m really proud of nailing. They followed up with an email asking for 4-5 days that I am available for a full day of interviews. Gave them 4-5 days, started planning for how I’d get those days off work during insane times at current job, and now not a single word from them to confirm a date. Been over a week now. Sad. Pretty jaded. What can I do? Already followed up

So I've been applying for jobs with various brands who are owned by the same parent company. They are all separate brands but owned by the same company. All my applications are under one login with the parent company's website. My question is, can HR and recruiters from the different brands see all my open applications (including those with the other brands) or just the ones that concern the brand they work for?

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...
