New trend(Passive Hiring) - taking all interviews and then not responding

Recently I've given an interview for rounds 1 at a company and after the round I asked the company for the feedback of the same, post that the recruiter is not lifting the calls and not even replying to mails, is this thing common for companies whose hiring process takes longer?

Recently started giving interviews and cleared a few rounds in a couple of companies. I never heard back from any of them even if I felt the interviews went well. Very frustrated because of this as I fail to understand how difficult is it to just reject or send a rejection email if they don't want to hire. I understand that companies have 100s of candidates in their pipeline but it's so frustrating to not even get any rejection mail and get stuck in a limbo.

Hi Grpeviners, I've given so many interviews. Qualified technical rounds for many but have been ghosted several times. Like the HR stops receiving my calls or they say at the end that sorry we want someone to join within 45 days. Sometimes they say, sorry we got some candidate from our organization and list is never ending. I feel very disheartened due to this ongoing scenario. Why is this happening to me, what should I improve in myself? Am I out of budget, notice period? Please help!

After 2 weeks and 4 rounds of interviews, the HR informed me on Friday that I’ve cleared the last round and have been selected. S/he asked me to share some documents and told offer letter will be shared in 2 days. I waited for 2 days and called the HR today. Here’s the interesting thing, on calling s/he didn’t recognise me first and asked me which department I’m from, then asked to wait 15 minutes for callback as s/he was on break. Again waited for more than an hour and called back but this time s/he didn’t pick up the call. My question is should I be worried? Move on or am I being impatient? Just some more info - I don’t have any other offer in hand and the CTC I’ve asked for 100% of previous (last appraisal in 2021) although it’s still less than what is being offered for senior role in current market scenario in Bengaluru. Could this be the reason? Your thoughts, please.

Why these HR’s not ready to provide feedback after the interviews round . I am not getting if candidates attended interviews for 1hr / 45 min /30min at least they deserve feedback doesn’t matter if it’s positive or negative . It’s better to accept negative/positive feedback instead of keeping hope . This is big demotivating for us. It’s a request to all HR’s please don’t play with our times. And one question why you are more active before setup the interview and then act like dead .

I am seeing lots of jobs post on LinkedIn from various companies and when u apply to them there is no call back or any update from them. I am now like confused if those post are even true or not? Anyone face/observe this

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 .

How common is it for recruiters to ghost you after multiple rounds of interviews and assessments (over months) by blocking your email so you can't even send follow up emails? The way I see it - they don't lose much since they have thousands to choose from an applicant pool, but it certainly undermines the effort made my candidates to a huge degree. Or is that common courtesy, acknowledgement and in general being decent human seem rathee utopian concepts in this day and age? Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Me and my friends aren't even getting shortlisted for an interview.LinkedIn isn't working, direct referrals isn't working. After multiple rounds they just decide to go the other way. And this is happening with experienced talent. What the hell is happening!

Gave interview in Amazon Ads team for AAM role (L3), all three round went well still no response, where I was hopeful. How HM's are curating profiles, after holding 3+ years of experience in the applied role domain, with relevant experience basis JD, still HM's are not responding. What kind of hiring is this?
