Would I be wrong to call them out on ghosting me? Professionally of course.

I interviewed a few rounds. 1st was the recruiter, 2nd was my would-have-been manager, and the 3rd was their manager (who I wouldn’t have much interaction with). These interviews happened over the course of two weeks. I knew I wasn’t the only candidate but they just ghosted me. There was a lot of excitement from their end in the beginning so I was expecting them to give me feedback on what happened.

What do you think?

At this point, being mad at a recruiter or hiring manager for ghosting you is like being shocked the stripper doesn’t like you.

You have more to lose than to gain. The industry is very small, unfortunately.

I think the way you’re looking at it is a little negative. I don’t think it’s wrong to email and say “I really enjoyed speaking with all of you and I’m not sure if the position has been filled but would love to still be considered for the role or in the future if another role comes up! Hope to hear from you“

Recently happened with me too. Recruiter just ghosted after an interview with a potential employer, If it’s a no, would it be so difficult to just inform me. It’s quite frustrating, if I were Bill Gates daughter and worked for fun, I would definitely write to them about it. They better have a good reason for it. But I’d let it go and move on.

What would be the point of calling them out? I suppose you could say you're "just following up."

I assumed OP meant name n shame here on Fishbowl.

I’m scared I’ll end up being alone. I’ve truly enjoyed being single all this time but as time passes by, I keep thinking to myself that something must be wrong with me that I’m not in a relationship. I also don’t feel confident being on dating apps since I gained weight during the pandemic (about 30 lbs). I’m holding off on dating until I get into better shape but I’ll be 27 by then and I feel like I’ll be too old to put myself out there.

Any suggestions for remote team-building that won’t just be shrugged off with cynicism, or worse, ignored?
