Got ghosted after they collected all the documents

One company did the same with me. 
 I have the mail IDs on cliets POCs who interviewed me. 
 Think I'll drop a mail on that chain asking why are you guys not reverting after collecting my docs and is this the correct way to treat candidates

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I’m interviewing with one of the FAANG company, the interview process completed last week and recruiter have ghosted me. What are some valid reasons for ghosting? They could have just acknowledged and said will get back with more information when they have, instead of ghosting. Would you like to share some of your ghosting stories. I’m really anxious to know about the outcome that’s why this rant.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

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?

Getting ghosted by recruiters

Product Manager

I have been ghosted more by recruiters than being ghosted by my dates. Why can’t recruiters be respectful to us and stop ghosting us? Software engineers are human beings and have feelings too.

Why do recruiters ghost?

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.

What's up with Interviewers ghosting

Consultant

Just trying to understand what could be the reasons behind this?

Is it normal for recruiters to ghost after confirming that they'll be rolling out an offer after a month long interview process?

Ghosted by recruiter after they gave verbal acceptance 10 days ago. One of my other offers expired during this time and now the recruiters are not replying to my emails at all. Have included the hiring manager in the emails as well. But no one is responding.

Ghosted by recruiter after they gave verbal acceptance

It's been a year and a month since I've been unemployed.
I had a chronic illness which lasted for 2.5 years ( yes I was working when I was sick - worst decision of my life ) .

I recovered from it in September 2023, since then I've been looking for new jobs in frontend domain.
In my previous role , I was working as a support engineer for a service based company but wanted to work in frontend. During my illness period I also joined a cohort and also did a certification in React development.

Now, when I apply for jobs, I'm getting no calls, when I do get calls from recruiters, they ask about my career gap I tell them everything that happened. After the call they just ghost me.

How am I supposed to justify my career gap so that I can proceed further with the interview?
Do I lie about it and say that I did freelancing, I've heard most people do these kinds of things when they have to justify any kind of career gap.

How do I justify my career gap?

Software Developer

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.

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.

Is it possible to get call from google
And they ask you for interview date and send you link for applying and then they stop replying to your linkedin and mails? Even if recruiter had told you that you can contact them in non working hours as well.

Got call for scheduling interview from google but got ghosted after

I cleared all the interview rounds for a role at GE Healthcare but the HR is ghosting me since 2 weeks after we agreed upon the offer verbally. Every day I keep following up for updates but the response I get is that approval has to be provided by global team. Has anyone faced such issues at other companies or is this something that is common.

HR ghosting me

Not able to get into HR rounds after doing well in technical interviews. 

Comp1: cleared 5 technical rounds.  They asked me to come in person for a particular date, informed me that date and time will be informed later. After a week got rejection mail. 

Comp2: Done well in the technical round. Profile was in process status  in the company portal for the last 45 days.  Today I got a rejection mail.

Got ghosted by Uber recruiter after all the rounds, they are not picking up phone and not answering mails. What should I do?

Ghosted by Uber recruiter after all the rounds

The interviewer Ghosted me during the interview round of a Bangalore based startup. Even called the HR multiple times, but no response from her as well, I guess she also ghosted me🤣

Interviewer Ghosted

Attended an interview for a startup where they said all was okay and agreed to rollout the offer letter and last minute told hiring freeze. This is for an entry level role. 

Cannot name the company as I can get identified. Fintech startup.  Their payscales in glassdoor were showing high base for entry level roles in Business Operations. 


How do we make sure that recruiter does not ghost us . What are the strategies we can use to get the offer. These days, every recruiter in first call itself asking about salary expectations.

Ghosted by recruiter !!

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.

Are you all guys getting ghosted by recruiters after clearing interview too or is it just me? Need to talk about this.
