Lets say we  want to buy a car or jewellery, any normal person will visit multiple showrooms look at prices and offers available. Then buy from one of them. Donwe inform the others that the sales is done?. When the sales person calls and follows up we say.  
 Same logic here, it's a business deal,. The buyer comes back when the deal is profitable. Nothing personal or emotional here.

HR always disappoints us.   
But we need to understand their responsibilities as well. HR is a hot seat. They have to make critical life changing business decisions very day like rangoli pattern for the reception area, office decoration for the festivals,  Games to play that will motivate employees, track and wish people on their birthday, anniversary day,  Keep track of who is alive and who is dead. 
So maybe this got left out.

Consultant

I guess because, it's harder to say No, than simply avoiding.

Software Engineer

Unprofessional behaviour, they are not concerned

Lawyer

Because no matter how easy it is to say no, the candidate would always believe the interviewer was at fault.

Recruiter

1.They don't care 
 2. They want to get the cheapest labor. If he/she is not good, then they go for second cheapest one.

Machine Learning Engineer

Try going through consultancy next time, i had a very nice experience with them recently. Specifically Panchhee Excellence is a good team and responds to every query even to rejection reasons

Hardware Engineer

Why HR recruiters won't let us know that we are not selected after an interview? They won't even reply to mails, lift calls or respond to messages

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

In the last 3 months, I have appeared for PM interviews for three major startups. After collectively going through 12 interviews (3 of them in person) and 2 assignments - I have nothing to show for. The position just evaporates AFTER the whole process has been done. In one of the cases, HR also collected all the necessary documents like salary slips, appointment letter from current org and the likes and asked me put down my papers over a verbal commitment. Good thing I didn't do that. 

It's so ridiculous that these so called unicorns can't even do one little hiring correctly. And how it's even possible to initiate hiring if they don't even have the clarity on whether they want to hire or not? Idk if it's the consequence of a shitty job market or it's my luck. Just feeling extremely frustrated because there's nothing I can do about it. I clear all the interviews and do the assignments perfectly - what else I can do? 

HRs don't even have the guts to apprise me proactively. They'll just stall releasing of the offer letter for weeks and stop taking your calls. One fine day when they finally decide to spare some of their holy time - it's usually a one line response: Position went on a hold, will let you know. Bye. 

Indian job market is really the worst. Absolutely zero ethics and no value for anyone's time.

Just frustrated by positions going on hold after the final round

Product Manager

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.

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

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

so why are hrs not bothered to send an email if a candidate is rejected for some particular reason after the final round of the interview?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

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

Most of the queries asked here should be sorted easily if an HR can respond with their insights, but i rarely see any HR participating in discussions, maybe we don't have that many HR's here ?

Or 

maybe you folks want to stay the same as you are on the job, totally useless.

Aren't there enough HR's users on grapevine? I hardly see you folks responding to queries?

Senior Software Engineer

Need answer to just one thing. 

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

I currently have a job where I can be laid off anytime. I started attending interviews with other companies. To my luck I got selected in a company, interviews were done and final documents were submitted. HR said only the offer discussion round is pending. He said it will be done on Thursday but no response. I followed up on Thursday. He said Friday for sure and no response on Friday too.

 What should I do now ?
 How often should I follow up?
Have you faced a similar situation how did you overcome

Why are HR's not transparent

Data engineer

Recently interviewed with https://kutumb.app/ for an EIR role as they wanted to enter into an entirely new industry. Had a super pro max awful interview experience! 

HRs and interviewers just waste candidates' time. Call endlessly to schedule an interview and then ghost without even sharing the status of the interview or any feedback!

EIR interview with Kutumb

Around a month ago, HR called to ask if I was interested in the APM role. After following up multiple times for the interview, they said the hiring manager didn't like your profile. After 2-3 weeks, different HR reached out, saying they want to conduct round - 1 for the same team. The interview happened, and I reached out to HR after 3-4 days for the next steps, but she kept cutting my calls and completely ghosted me. I reached out to another HR, and she said the feedback on the portal was that "experience is not enough."

I was pretty disappointed as while conducting interviews, HRs reached out to me so many times, but they couldn't even send an automated email for feedback. 

But it didn't end there. The HR who ghosted me called again after a couple of weeks to schedule round 1 with another team. The interview went well, and the interviewer asked me about my availability for round 2 and when I could join them, etc., saying we would try to conduct the next round soon. When I reached out for feedback, HR kept saying I'll call you later. I'm busy right now, and then they ghosted me. After following up multiple times, she said the feedback wasn't positive. 

I hoped for round 2 here since the interviewer seemed convinced and contented with my profile. Now, just because I reached out 10s of times, they told me that I have been rejected! 

How much time does it take to send an automated email? :/

Cars24 APM Interview - Worst experience

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

I got call from hr that I have passed coding round and they need to schedule interview round

15th may was the date decided, I started studying for interview and took 1-2 leaves from my office of that now I didn't get any mail,

I asked again for interview confirmation, he said he has requested for interview to 16 may timeslot, I will get mail by EOD

Now I haven't got any mail for timing, why they can't simply clarify things and keep us waiting

now neither I am focusing on studying nor I am focusing on my current company work 😕

Why hr doesn't clarify things properly

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?

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 HR Ghosts you in the middle of Salary discussion

Software Architect

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.
