Ghosting on a rise

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?

Need answer to just one thing. Do you guys intentionally ghost candidates or do you guys intentionally ghost candidates? 🙂

I recently gave a technical interview and everything went well. I couldn't answer a couple of questions but I'd say it was a 95/100 if I had to rate it. No idea why I got rejected. HR has ghosted me. Fuck these interviewers and the HRs that manage these things. Entitled motherfuckers. When somebody doesn't qualify for a role, have the basic decency to write them a rejection email stating what they could've done better, or just a rejection email. It doesn't take that long.

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. Why HR's don't give a black and white answers.

Why does HR ghosts? Is this being taught to them in HR courses? In a decent work setup a simple No or Yes either on mail or text would be ideal.

In the past couple of months I have given multiple interviews where the interviewer said that they are good to go for the next round as the interview went well but the recruiter keeps ghosting. I am not sure where I am going wrong?

After getting laid off, I have been talking to multiple HRs at different companies but the responses from them have been brutally slow. Are they trying to take advantage of my desperation or is there a hiring slowdown in India (irrespective of the numerous job openings I see everywhere)

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

Is HR ghosting a very common practice in the industry, even when they are hiring the candidate? Do they make you beg for the offer before rolling out? Why HRs, what's the motive behind?
