What’s your personal rule for how long you wait before officially declaring a recruiter interaction dead? It’s wild how they expect you to reply to their LinkedIn messages within ten minutes but will completely vanish off the face of the earth the second you ask for an update. I had a great screening call last Tuesday where she told me I was a perfect fit and that she’d send over the team interview calendar by end of day. It’s been a week of total radio silence despite two polite follow-ups.

I don’t necessarily treat an interaction as dead… I just consider every interaction isn’t promising until I have an offer. If they don’t get back to me nothing has come to fruition but it still may.

Fr. I'm in that situation, it's dead silent after, probably my best loop from my perspective, which is hard to say as I'm my worst judge. Loved each interviewer and they all gave me a good vibe and language; even the hiring manager was a cake walk basically feeling like it was a done deal. I'm 4 weeks from then and still no response even when I contacted scheduling and recruiter for feedback. The market is swamped. This is the new normal. My current job leaves me wanting. I have been caught in paper work for the past two years and want out. To do something big tech that has an impact but we are all basically in the same spot. Who can give the best interview. If the company you apply to has a portal for tracking, that's basically our only hope if things fall quiet. Does it show not selected, or not. Praying we all overcome this current trend and build a better world 🍻

I know people are desperately trying to find new jobs but don't get hung on any particular opportunity. In this market it's become normal to be ghosted, so just accept it and keep submitting applications and getting interviews until you're presented an offer. Your relationship with any particular recruiter isn't binary.

LinkedIn is the biggest scam for this generation.

I guess never. Some will call and say they want to work with you. in my experience those people at major recruiting firms did try over months to find something for me. The ones that call about one job. Well those are the ones that disappear into the good night.

- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
