What should you do if a recruiter won’t respond after an in person interview? It’s been weeks and no followup. My recruiter switched after my phone screen- & I haven’t had any contact with this person

I think that opportunity is gone, mate.

This happened to me once, until eventually I received an auto-reply that the new recruiter was no longer with the company. I found and reached out to that persons supervisor and was given an immediate follow up, flown out, and hired within a week.. all of this after 6-8 weeks of silence on behalf of the recruiter. This likely isn’t the average scenario, but goes to show not to make assumptions that you’re a “no"

Yes that’s the person I’ve emailed twice and no response. Hasn’t followed up with a yes or no. I’m assuming it’s no- but it feels as if I’ve fallen between the cracks with the switch in recruiters.

If they didn’t contact you within a day or two of your interview then it’s gone baby gone.

Do you have the contact information of the new recruiter?

Move on, but can't hurt do one more follow-up.

Hold up OP, it’s not gone yet. You need to follow up again and it’s very normal for recruiters to take time to respond to candidates as sometimes they are waiting to hear back. Also the person you interviewed with, did they give you the business card? If they did, it does not harm to follow up given you already feel the opportunity is gone. Another way is to add the
Recruiter on LinkedIn or the folks who interviewed you. If you exhaust all the options and you are still desperate to get the job at this new company pick up the phone and call the recruiter or call general hotline. Hey what you got to loose

I am asked during this RE analyst interview to build a real estate model from scratch. My background is commercial banking and I am used to analyzing real estate deals from the lender side not the developer. The interviewer is generous I must say he’s giving me a few days to complete. However this model is for a ground up multifamily development. I have no prior experience building one. I can find models online but all very complexe to reproduce. How would you handle? Do you have model to share?
