Would you share your thoughts on why companies are ghosting after interviews at all stages? I’ve been through quite a few, from initial screening to final round. Some have even discussed start dates. Then they just ghost. I’m not looking for what I could have done better (another thread), but just why that is the case. I have heard from others they have experienced the same and this did not happen to me even a few years ago. Just a simple explanation of circumstances would be considerate.

It depends. IMO, I think the market and companies aren’t doing very well. I also think the economy is worse than they’re letting on. Just be patient you’ll get word soon enough, even if it’s a rejection email

Hi all,

Also, if anyone is willing to look over my resume and give me tips on how to make it more presentable for recruiters in DA that would be very helpful. Thanks

Why do recruiters never tell you which agency they want to talk to you about until they get you on the phone?
