Why do companies Ghost? Do you think if the recruiter has not touched base with 7-10 days then there is no opportunity at the job?

They’re jerks. Remember those companies that ghosted you, you definitely don’t want to work for them or use their product or service.

I had one recruiter ask me to resend my resume even after I had interviewed.

Have you tried reaching out?

Yes, 75percent of company recruiters still don’t respond.

I have encountered a few really good recruiters but the majority of them are not professional and don't realize this is a candidates market right now. Many of them think we have no other options. Many of them give the recruiter title a bad reputation.

Had a recruiter tell me she needed to call the hiring manager to ask a question and then never called me back lol. Maybe reach out again to see if they just forgot to contact you?

I am a hiring manager and I will say that what I see is that recruiters are in a position where they have to continue to feed the monster. That means they have to produce "fresh recruits" to those of us looking for new hires. That takes a significant amount of time reviewing resumes and screening.

They then have to wait on managers to decide who they are or are not we are interested in screened candidates. So they can't give feedback diring that time. Then once interviews happen they have to wait to give a no to the other applicants who have interviwed until after the full hiring process occurs. So dome of the time they aren't ghosting, but quite often in a position where they just don't know or just can't say anything.

Hey guys,

Anyone knows why there’s such a great gap in salary? Tomorrow I’ll have the interview so any comments could be helpful. Thx

Advice needed! I started at an ID firm only a few months ago after a long stint doing in-house litigation. I was referred to the firm by a very good friend who also still works there.

I am seriously dreading talking to my new boss and telling my friend that I want to go back in-house. Has anyone dealt with something similar? I just feel so bad and don’t want to burn bridges
