Nobody likes to tell no to someone. It's just a human/Indian mentality. Rejecting someone takes cojones.

Sales

It does not work at scale. People turn hostile.

Software Developer

They want to preserve optionality. 
  
 In worst case they fuck up with new candidate they want to be able to come to you. 
  
 Option to consider you, if the alternative arrangement fails.

Founder

Because its unnecessary.  at  lower end of hierarchy , people are just resources.  Demand supply economics is not in our favour.  Imagine your normal shopping week end or a high value purchase like car,  we visit multiple shops check prices, and then you finalize the deal.  Once done, we dont call others to inform them . Same story. 

HR also are busy with theirs rangolis/.... so no time.

well they should atleast reply when a follow up email will be sent 🤔

Indian he practices are just bad. Every foreign hr sends this. An automated mail isn't hard but they have no courtesy here

Strategy & Operations

They're just entitled and not compassionate or professional enough. 
  
 Any company that ghosts you is a bullet avoided. Speaks very clearly of the value afforded to humans working there ..

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 ?

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

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? :/

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

This began in June 2023 when I received an opportunity to interview with Eventbrite. I received the online assessment link and submitted it. However, after that, I was ghosted by HR. In February 2024, I applied again, and HR called me to discuss the opportunity. HR asked me to call him the next day if I was interested further in the process. When I called him the next day, he didn't pick up, and after 2 minutes, I received a rejection email. HR could have picked up and just told me the reason for rejection.

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

Not able to get into HR rounds after doing well in technical interviews. 

Comp1: cleared 5 technical rounds.  They asked me to come in person for a particular date, informed me that date and time will be informed later. After a week got rejection mail. 

Comp2: Done well in the technical round. Profile was in process status  in the company portal for the last 45 days.  Today I got a rejection mail.

Ghosting companies

Cloud Architect

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

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Just a random discussion- 

is HR being too friendly in a rejection mail a sign of soft stand towards candidate?

 I know usually HRs are not bothered to let candidates know of their unsuccessful candidature, but this HR of the company i interviewed today was way too friendly. just becoz of this i asked for feedback, boyyy she sent me a detailed mail and even mentioned let her know if i have any further questions 🙏🏻🫣 

should i tell just hire me mannn 😅? is there any possibility if they can come back after their denial mail coz of this stand..

Are you open to hire someone if the candidate is rejected in final rounds in some other interview by a big company?

Open to hire rejects?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

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.?

Why do HR's ghost after final tech round?

Which company did you have the worst interview experience with?

Interview experiences

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.

HR Disappears after first message

Hi Grpeviners, I've given so many interviews. Qualified technical rounds for many but have been ghosted several times. Like the HR stops receiving my calls or they say at the end that sorry we want someone to join within 45 days. Sometimes they say, sorry we got some candidate from our organization and list is never ending. I feel very disheartened due to this ongoing scenario. Why is this happening to me, what should I improve in myself? Am I out of budget, notice period? Please help!

Constant rejection, ghosting by HR after qualifying technical rounds

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.

Hiring process

System Engineer

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.

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?
