What's actually going on at the other end when candidates get ghosted? Genuinely too busy to reply? Was the candidate rejected after you passed on their information? And why do they sometimes respond weeks or even months later? I'm not even mad or trying to make anyone feel bad, just looking for clarity.

OP I would honestly love to know the answer to this as well. What gets me is that they reach out to ME with a job opportunity and then they ghost me. Why even reach out to begin with? Doesn't that just seem like a giant waste of time for everyone involved.

I know there are reports coming out that 4 out of ten recruiters & hr departments are posting for jobs that are not available to make the organization look like they're growing

Until we make it unethical and illegal to post for fictitious. Jobs, this is gonna keep happening because it makes their department, and these individuals look like they're making progress when in turn, they're just trashing the environment for all worthy candidates!

how pathetic.

I once got a rejection email so long after the fact that I didn't realize at first what they were talking about. It just seems to me that it's an employer's market, and the hiring managers just don't feel much obligation to be professional or even courteous. It's a sorry situation.

I received a verbal offer for a VP position at CCB line of business at JPMC in NYC two weeks ago. The recruiter asked for salary expectations but there was no number set. It’s been two weeks since and complete radio silence. I sent an email to a hiring manager a week ago but received no reply. It’s August so people could be on vacation but this is really strange. Has anyone had similar experience?
