When I was working with a team and training newer recruiters, one thing kept coming up. They were hesitant to follow up with candidates or managers. They didn’t want to seem pushy. But the truth is, most movement in hiring comes from someone taking that extra step. Do you ever hold back from following up because you don’t want to come off the wrong way?

Yes! Am I supposed to call the recruiters who are ghosting me?

No. Over communicating is better than under if you want to get things done at work. In leadership studies, they teach you it’s necessary

WOW.
"Recruiters follow up with candidates" "recruiters that are hesitant to follow up with candidates"
are you saying that when recruiter ghosts me it may be because he is hesitant to follow up with candidates?
sounds like fiction
Dellyn, could you please elaborate on what “following up with a candidate” actually means?
Is it something like: “We really want this particular person, but he does not seem very willing to go on, so let’s follow up to remind him about us and reassure him that we are still very interested in hiring him”?
who are those candidates? real unicorns?
Because from my experience, “follow-up” usually means the exact opposite: the candidate follows up, and the recruiter disappears.

My current company and many others I know about do not offer the mobility to do so until much later, which is not what I want. Thank you.

Is it wise to appreciate both of them via blue points for their support?

I just got a mail saying I have 200 bluepoints to send out appreciations if I feel like.
