What makes a recruiter not respond to emails? I sent thank you notes to which I didn’t get a response from the interviewers but that could be common idk. However at the end of the interview the interviewer mentioned I might need to meet a few other people who became unavailable on my super day. I communicated to the recruiter that I will be going on vacation and if there is interest in scheduling more interviews and get a timeframe. It’s been the whole day and I got no response.

Did you phrase it as “Unfortunately, I will be unavailable for 2 weeks beginning June 1st. Do the interviewers have availability to meet before then?” Or did you really ask them if there is interest in scheduling?

Recruiters seem to have a knack for ghosting people. I interviewed early last week and was told they had interviews the rest of the week and then would either conduct a second round of interviews or make an offer. I emailed the recruiter Sunday to see if they would have an answer this week as I have a competing offer. Radio silence.

Ghosting is usual with HR, I feel this is used a negotiation technique depending on how desperate the candidate is. They don’t realise the consequences. Also sometime in genuine cases the process is so monotonous, it’s ages before an approval is sorted.

Had one from a reputable firm that always replied like a couple of days after. Always an excuse like “sorry this was sitting in my drafts” or “got caught in my spam”. I just stopped responding to her and went directly to the company’s internal recruiting team.
