Ever wonder why recruiters have no problem calling you to say "Congratulations, you're shortlisted" and then talk about next steps but would rarely call back when you are rejected. They would rather send an email.

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 .

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.

1/ an employee has got a raise in his/her current org recently and then asks for raise again to switch to a different org 2/ an employee has got a raise in his/her current org recently, gets an offer from another org and then asks for the current org to match the offer What’s your first thought? Is this justified? 90% of orgs will label them as opportunistic, money hungry & capital centric. But let’s get brutally honest here: Is the talent wrong to ask for more? We’re quick to jump to conclusions and slap on those labels. But have you ever stopped to consider their perspective? They are leveraging their value in the market. They are pushing for what they believe they’re worth. Isn’t that exactly what we teach about knowing your value and not settling? Are we really being fair when we default to calling them greedy? How many of you would really go back to hard, clear benchmarking and justify why this ask is justified? How many of you are really fighting this battle of moving a godzilla out of their position (in this case, a manager) who just says, "Nai yaar... pagal hai kya... bolo same salary pe aane ke liye... abhi to raise mila hai"? Most likely (as it is today) that this will result in a no-go from a manager or a comp approval request. And when it does - you can go all gaga on how you sold opportunity cost, how you justified the value the candidate brings to the table and all that verbatim in my head translates to CONVENIENCE. Someones convenience. This will always labelled "outlier" case. {continued in comments}

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

AI helps jobseekers makes resume basis the job that it has only has created, and then screens it for fitment 🤦‍♂️ Level 999999 Unlocked ... This is the "ultimate" dog-fooding Meanwhile, you will also see more tech and AI in recruitment for - Talent discovery, Talent engagement, Talent management, Talent blah blah blah But you got to think.. if response and closure and experience are still issues, maybe it's time to realise 1/ Recruiters aren't the problem. Hiring managers are. And you have been barking up the wrong tree the whole time 2/ Planets aren’t aligned with Recruiters in general Maybe it’s time to offer the AI and Tech thingy to the Hiring Managers .. start with some AI-generated motivational posters.

The worst part about applying for a job is the process of impressing the dumb recruiter so that she sets up your interview. It is funny when a recruiter who has zero technical skills and has not written a single line of code in her life cross questions me about my engineering projects in past organisations. How can companies change the hiring process so one does not have to deal with these annoying recruiters? or are dumb recruiters just a necessary evil?

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

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.

I recently received an offer from an org. After multiple rounds I was told I was selected and we discussed numbers. However I did not receive any offer for a month. I in the meantime checked about company culture and found out it's not good and when I did get offer after a month, I rejected it within the same day. I did ask them to send over the offer since I was still pondering. HR called me post that and started calling me unprofessional that I rejected offer post receiveing the letter and why I did not reject it earlier. Was I unprofessional? And honestly most of the companies reject candidates left right and center without a second thought post multiple interviews.
