When a recruiter just doesn't reply when you are a perfect fit for the role as described, what's going on in their heads?

You may not be as perfect a fit as you think because of intangibles needed for the job that they didn’t put in the posting.

Or, you may be a great fit and they haven’t had a chance to reply yet.

Both could be true.

There are so many reasons… they may have many applications, they may be waiting on others, people may be sick, etc. The only way to know is follow up if you really want to know. So many recruiters have ghosted me I don’t really think it’s worth worrying about… remember, you’re not the client - the company hiring is.

Ghosting is def popular in NYC they hype you up over a role have the initial 1:1 you send your resume then it’s chasing some might say role on hold and based on other bowls some are sending old ads to get resumes which makes sense as well when these roles are on hold or at least that’s what they tell you. I like company recruiters they seem more accurate & try to have integrity,

Yes a recruiter just called me to tell me a role is put on hold until Q1! I’m guessing this will happen as well it’s only 4 more working weeks till the new year!

I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
