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?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

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?

Product Manager

I interviewed for a US-based company, the process started during the last week of March. The process took a month to complete, and the final round took 2 weeks to get scheduled since the director of engineering was not available. 

After all rounds were complete, it took 2 weeks for the managing director to call me and tell me about the offer.  This happened after I had to call the recruiter and ask him for updates. 

Since then the recruiter has taken some details in the past week and they made me sign a NDA. I called on Monday and they said they will release the offer by Wednesday as it's getting approved in the US. Now the recruiter is not picking up my calls. 

All this time is making me think that the recruiter is possibly considering other candidates and keeping me on hold just in case.

Do you think the recruiter is ghosting me or not taking my candidature seriously? How should I proceed? 

Thanks!

Recruiter taking a lot of time to release the offer

Many companies in their rejection emails say "we hope you don't mind if we keep your details on file for the future. If a suitable position becomes available as our team continues to grow, we'd love to reconnect with you and may reach out in future"

Has that ever actually happened? If yes, what's the story behind it?

Has a company reached to you after sending the rejection for consideration?

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

Hi Folks,
I applied for L5 MLE at Google Banglore and completed my 3 Coding, 1 ML System Design and Googleyness & Leadership interview before mid-May.
The recruiter communicated the feedback for each round as "GOOD", not revealing the Lean/Strong-Hire counts even after being asked, saying those are for internal only.

For further process, the recruiter communicated that Team Matching could take time as the current openings already have candidates mapped for Team Matching.

I haven't been scheduled for even 1 Team Matching call.
And, on follow-ups, I get the answers "No new updates" or "Nothing so far".

Is this expected, given BLIND is filled with posts reflecting Google is on a hiring spree in Banglore?

Or is this a soft reject?

Or, to a stretch, the hiring season at Google India is over with no new openings? A hiring freeze.

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

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I cleared all 6 rounds of a PM interview with an Edtech startup.  The HR asked for current offer letter, 2 references (current and previous manager), and a couple of other docs. 

Then ghosted me for 2 weeks. When I followed up, the HR said they are in-process of interviewing other candidates

Is it normal to do this now a days? 

I understand the company wants to interview more people. But then why ask for any details from me till you are sure that you are going to give an offer

Is it normal?

Hi guys,

YOE - 3 ( backend media tech profile)
So lately I’ve interviewed for Jiocinema SDE II role. I cleared all their rounds.
After informing that ive been selected after 3-5 days of final round, they rolled an offer letter after a week which had a basic welcome page and a salary annexure It was just a simple word doc ( not even a pdf ) with the company masterhead ( it didn’t had date of joining, workplace , work timings, leave information & probation details )
After a round of negotiation, Hr informed in zoom call that it is a offer of intent and not offer letter, which will be provided after you fill your details in our portal. 
After filling the form on their portal, now the hr is saying that the earlier provided offer was only the offer letter and appointment letter will be provided on date of joining.
Have you guys faced the same situation in Viacom18? Is it is just me? 

Moreover the company raised various red flags like hr not picking calls for a week or two, since after giving my final round the company took 1.5+ months to send their portal link . 

Moreover the hike % is below 30%.

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

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.

Why do companies ghost after interviews?

I recently gave an interview, it was 4th round, the manager round, interviewer was tired and seemed not interested, he gave a ui and told me to think of data structure and edgse cases in 5 min. And got off the call , he joined after 5 mins and asked me answer, I was annoyed by his behaviour and couldn't perform well, I missed a single edge case and after that I got rejected. Is this the common behaviour or should I complaint it to the HR. He was director of engineering and seemed too much introverted.

Org’s that conduct  6-7 rounds of interviews before rejecting a candidate.  Don’t you think the hiring process is broken ?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hi guys(Mainly HRs), 
              Recently I applied to one SaaS company for the position-Solution Engineer/Implementation engineer, I had 2 rounds and was done with both the rounds. As I was expecting results, I got this mail from the previous round interviewer saying ( See the below/above image).  It sounded very odd and strange to me and frustrating to hear this, I acknowledged it and mailed the interviewer and HR asking to  give any constructive feedback if there were any; Until now they haven't responded back. I feel better now but obviously very disappointed with such a reply, can any one of u from startups/ HRs from start-up Please clarify - Is this the way Start-up rejects candidates or I got unlucky in this situation?
Please help friends.

System Engineer

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?

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 ?

There’s this chap on GV who posted that they haven’t received any calls for the past 3 months. Has 2.5 years experience with a current ctc around 15L. We spoke to them only to realise their expectations are 32L (26 fixed and 6 in esops)

In a market flooded with resumes due to unfortunate situations, is it fair to have such an expectation and at the same time, call out on GV that they haven’t been getting calls for an interview?

Are high expectations in such a market valid (even accounting for cream deserves takes)

26 fixed seems pretty reasonable, I don’t know how much lower you can expect

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.
