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.
Avoiding awkward conversation tops my mind.
companies interview multiple people at the same time.
1 - During the interview process they might ghost you to speed up someone else and complete their interview as well so they can have multiple people from which they can choose the best.
2 - Very small portion but some recruiters are just aHoles, if they smell your desperation for FAANG they purposefully delay it, have seen it in other companies as well.
3 - Sometime business decision opens a requirement for the role and during your interview process this changes as well, have seen role closing in between the interview cycles. (Benefit here - was reached out by the same recruiter after a month or so, didn’t had to go through all the round from start)
4 - Due to higher no of engineers applying for the same role, they are not able to provide feedback to all the candidates.
Worst of all is when you have cleared all the rounds and all went well and got the positive feedbacks from all the interviewers. still after 3 weeks you will receive a rejection mail. With no explanation or reason whatsoever.
One of the mysteries of this world unsolved
Thanks for the detailed response

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?
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 sta...
Standard practice in India. Best you can do is name&shame on LinkedIn, or call it hard luck and move on
Put HR ka number on insurance websites, scaler, edtech and others.
I have been ghosted more by recruiters than being ghosted by my dates. Why can’t recruiters be respectful to us and stop ghosting us? Software engineers are human beings and have feelings too.
