Brother they always keep other candidates handy, most probably just buying time to interview others, and yes the process for these types of companies does take time!!. 
 You can't do anything at this point except trying to contact them. 
 Wish you luck!

In what frequency should i contact the recruiter? I don’t want to seem desperate and don’t want to piss them off.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

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!

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?

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?

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?

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

Why does recruiters ghost candidates?

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.

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I have been interviewed by Akamai recently. After a phone call with HR, they scheduled an interview and it went pretty well. The interview was positive and the interviewer explained to me about the next round's process. 
It's been 2 weeks since the interview and there's no follow up from HR on this. 
Am I ghosted or is it normal?

Need info about Akamai's hiring process

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.

I am interviewing for Adani Realty and I cannot understand how they are operating. 
They took 2 rounds, in the 2nd round changed the profile for me, didn’t share much details about the 2nd profile, gave me an assignment more in line with the 2nd profile and now aren’t confirming the 3rd at all.
They said they liked my assignment and when I asked if the first profile was still open, they have just gone SILENT on me. 
I don’t know what to do, I’m looking for a job and it’s been such an exhausting process. :(

I have cleared all the rounds of an interview for a Senior Associate Data Engineering L2 DE - Big Data GCP role in Publicis Sapient. Now HR is ghosting and saying that she is taking approval and it's taking time. May I know that they'll really release the offer?

I had an interview with Capgemini for BA profile around 23rd February. It went amazing. Got selected for second round. They asked for details like UAN card and previous salary slips and offer letters to schedule a client interview.

It sounded weird but I provided the details because I couldn't think of any way they can misuse the information.

It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard from them. 

Is this usual practice? Personally haven't come across such a situation before.

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

I'll go first. I got a call for an APM role from one of the companies which did sound pretty sketchy and the recruiter was started bullying me into answering questions, when I asked to know more about the role. The recruiter was extremely unprofessional, and obviously the conversation was nowhere great. They however, did go ahead and sent me the JD and other links, etc to fill in and apply for the job. Mind you, I hadn't applied for the job. 🥲
It just was a pretty sour conversation which had left me in an uncertain situation. Any similar experiences?

Weird recruiter experiences

Asked for my expected CTC. I answered and they weren't happy with it. Said they could only give at 40% increment of current CTC and then asked for my current CTC. After hearing my current CTC they said I shouldn't be earning this much and that I was obviously making it up. Then asked to send over my salary payslip which I refused. Basically the HR started being extremely rude at this point stating that I was being unprofessional. I asked their salary budget for the role which they refused to answer. Then I asked if they were willing to hire me for a lower CTC which she instantly agreed and said she knew I was reasonable and I shouldn't have lied about my CTC. I then said good luck finding a candidate for that amount and hung up.

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? :/
