HR Ghosting

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?

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

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.

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.

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.?

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

Dear Recuriters, What fun you get in ghosting candidates? If you have no answers from your management you can inform the same. Now don’t say you have lot of job to do. Candidate experience is also your job isn’t it.

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.
