Now a days HR reach out to candidate for a job opportunity, when candidates ask for more details about job or something else (without sharing the resume).
No response from HR afterwards. They should atleast reply so that people doesn’t hope and look for something else.

HR Disappears after first message

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Just a random discussion- 

is HR being too friendly in a rejection mail a sign of soft stand towards candidate?

 I know usually HRs are not bothered to let candidates know of their unsuccessful candidature, but this HR of the company i interviewed today was way too friendly. just becoz of this i asked for feedback, boyyy she sent me a detailed mail and even mentioned let her know if i have any further questions 🙏🏻🫣 

should i tell just hire me mannn 😅? is there any possibility if they can come back after their denial mail coz of this stand..

let me know somebody got the call again after getting a no mail

HR Tactics

Program Manager

So recently I interviewed in many companies including google, Microsoft, Amazon I have seen common pattern that HR not being transparent with candidates. They keep hanging candidates in between and not reply to text, email, messages, calls. Even if candidate is rejected why can’t they email or call to give feedback. Is this job really hard ?
“If I will get a chance to snap out one profession from earth I will snap out all hrs, recruiters out there.”

Ps:- Google ppl was very transparent throughout process one of best experiences for me .

What is wrong with HRs/Recruiters

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I went through multiple rounds of interview for a PM role. Been a week now and nothing from the HR. Dropped an email and WhatsApp but to no avail. Any reason they do like this? Is it ok to keep my hopes on or jus chuck them.?

Why do HR's ghost after final tech round?

Product Manager

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Even after clearing assignments, interviews why it's so hard for HR's to respond? I don't care if I am selected or not but I want the feedback if I didn't make it.

Every candidate deserves a response from HR ?

Product Designer

I don't understand the need for HRs to postpone interview feedback for 2 weeks? And once you are reconnected they'll say that sorry I was on leave... Once I join back I'll update you. This can't be a coincidence it's happened atleast 2.

HRs you'll have anything to say?

HR excuses 101

Ghosting by HR is becoming increasingly common. This is not only for junior or middle level roles but also senior level. Talk to a prospective candidate and go to sleep. One more round and then go missing again. Repeat the process till the person starts to question the culture. And ya, when you wake up, expect the candidate to leave everything and respond..else, you will go ahead and open the position. 

Anyone else facing this in startups?

Ghosting by HR

Growth Manager

One of the recruiter reached out on mail , OA was done.
She was supposed to schedule interviews in starting on October, but now it seems she just ghosted me. 
She isn’t responding on mails, tried to reach out on LinkedIn but in vain.
Very frustrating.

Ghosted by Microsoft Recruiter

Is it just me or roles for HR folks in the 0-3 years bracket have completely vanished? All openings I come across nowadays are 4+ YoE. 

And before one of you says “khud HR ho, khud ko hire karlo” 🫠 - wish it worked like that 🥲

P.S. If you know of any HR roles in your org, let me know, thanks!

Roles for HR folks (0-3 YoE)

Human Resources

I was hiring for a web designer in last role.
We had an internal referral, and I checked her portfolio before reaching out.
She had multiple projects, worked with many customers across countries, the designs were fresh and inviting, no clutter.

She was the one (for the role)!
Exactly what we were looking for. 

I had a budget of 25-30LPA, had quoted 19-24 LPA (because well)
Her expectations were 30-33 LPA

Cut to, she was the only one till final round and they were processing her offer letter at 31LPA


Find your star and make it shine bright!

I am new to the work force, 1.5 YOE. I want to understand the logic behind HR’s ghosting their candidates.

On a serious note: Why do HR’s ghost candidates despite several rounds of interview and follow-ups?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I had a recent experience of having an interview with this MNC and getting negotiation calls,and I was willing to settle near their offer, just because the office was very nearby and then suddenly I got ghosted.

I was not even actively looking for a job and 6  rounds of conversation and a month later I got ghosted.

Software Architect

I gave my 3rd round of interview on last Friday and it went very well. I was told it was the last round and I was looking forward for an offer. But recruiter is telling me from the past 3 days that she hasn't received any feedback still and she should receive it soon ( the guy who took my interview was from US team). Is she bluffing?

Recruiter Ghosting after 3 rounds of interviews

I've noticed a pattern where HRs from mediocre companies are extremely arrogant and ask unnecessary questions. Whether it is from their tone of voice, to asking ridiculous questions about a candidate's personal life and things that are already on the resume, why do they act so holier than thou? Now FAANG adjacent companies and their HRs/ first point of contacts are always empathetic and very clear in asking sensible, relevant questions. Why don't companies realise that their first point of contact is what affects their brand and hiring unqualified folks makes it worse. Have you ever noticed this? What do you think can be done to make this/ candidate experience better?

Why are HRs from mediocre companies so arrogant?

HRs in mid places are usually coming from really small / unknown companies and feel like they’ve made it hence the arrogance. Folks in big/decent companies usually have come from wonderful education bgs and workplaces and if not, have worked hard enough to reach where they are. That humbles you, I feel.

Do you guys intentionally ghost candidates or do you guys intentionally ghost candidates? 🙂

Dear HRs - Answer Me.

Profession dominated by women - typical passive agressive behaviour. Avoidance

Hi. I’m from WITCH and currently on bench although I’ve cleared all the certifications but have not been assigned to any project. I recently got a call from ThoughtWorks and the HR asked me if I have worked on projects and I said NO and then she asked me if I have been on bench I said yes. 

My question is what do I say in this scenario? As I want to exit the company because there are no projects, and the other company wants hands on experience.

Welcome to Ask Grapeviners's Private Community

I recently received an offer from an org. 

After multiple rounds I was told I was selected and we discussed numbers. However I did not receive any offer for a month. I in the meantime checked about company culture and found out it's not good and when I did get offer after a month, I rejected it within the same day. I did ask them to send over the offer since I was still pondering. 


HR called me post that and started calling me unprofessional that I rejected offer post receiveing the letter and why I did not reject it earlier. 

Was I unprofessional? And honestly most of the companies reject candidates left right and center without a second thought post multiple interviews.
